Experimental and numerical studies of the particle transport processes, and more general the plasma density profile, at the edge of tokamaks (a device designed for controlled thermonuclear fusion).

Implementation and maintainance of two commercial websites.

Quality assurance - material testing: - determining the microstructure of gear tooths - checking the hardness and hardening depth of case hardened and induction hardened components - checking engine blocks for cracks (using color penetration and eddy currents) - checking engine valves for high temperature corrosion Position obtained by participation in a workshop at JKU on surface physics.

Auxiliary activity at the production line for powder coating of case components.

Highest possible grade (A) in all courses and projects. Courses on numerical analysis, statistical physics of non-equilibrated systems, molecular biophysics, superconductivity and atomic physics. With TU Munich in the framework of a double degree program.

Graduated with high distinction (1.2). Courses on plasma physics, controlled thermonuclear fusion, fluid dynamics, numerical analysis and quantum field theory. Degree project jointly with KTH Stockholm and IPP Garching, in the framework of a double degree programme.

Workshop over four weekends in May 2012 on surface physics. - Fundaments of surface physics - Electron microscopy - Surface analytics with electrons (e.g. determining material compositions using Auger spectra) - Surface analytics with ions Led to a working student position at ROTAX.
