Research Engineer in Flexible Assembly and Operator Support Systems Flanders Make – Corelab ProductionS
Subject Specialisms: Digital Work Instructions; Collaborative Robots, Lean Manufacturing
I am working as a research engineer at Flanders Make since July 2016. Through the years I gathered a broad technical background from my involvement in projects concerning product design and analysis, prototype development and industrial validation.
My research interests focus on the application of digital work instruction systems and collaborative robots to support the operator in industry 4.0. I contribute to innovation projects related to designing collaborative assembly stations, implementing multiple operator support systems or using the support to accelerate the learning process of an operator. Apart from this, I am also active in research projects on the digitization of production in general.
As a side track, I have been following a set of lean manufacturing trainings, to be able to advice companies on the general scope of their production, rather than only look into the operator support systems.

Bioinformatician and Technology Consultant Advisory office for socially acceptable technology design (BEST e.V.)
Subject Specialisms: Co-determination in the operational use of information technology (IT) and the digitalisation of the working world, data protection and data privacy
Since October 2019, I work as a technology consultant at BEST e.V., which is a subsidiary of the local Chamber of Labour (Arbeitskammer des Saarlandes). I advise, qualify and inform works councils, staff councils and employee representatives with regard to their right of co-determination. Here I concentrate on the IT area. For example, the aim of our seminars is to provide the participants with the right tools which enable them to design the implementation of new digital technology in their company / department in the sense of decent work.
As I accompany the process of digitalisation / transformation, my main focus is on artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning algorithms and robotic tools. Hereby, the areas of data protection and data privacy also play an important role. In addition to holding seminars, my tasks include writing expert opinions and drafting company agreements based on current legislation.
As part of my work, I will be undertaking additional training as a certified data protection officer by the end of 2020.
Thanks to my past, I still have a strong connection to the university environment, such as the University of Saarland or the University of Applied Sciences in Saarbrücken. Since AI is on the advance in the working world and thus more and more challenges arise, I will devote more time to this topic in the future. In order to reach prospective engineers, I plan to also provide my knowledge in this field as a lecturer at a university, beyond our BEST seminars.

Robotix Academy
The aim of this project is to create synergies in teaching and research on robotics through cross-border cooperation, thus establishing a permanent research cluster for industrial robotics. The research cluster will help to exploit the potential of the Greater Region in the fields of research, development and innovation, and to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the Greater Region. A further aim is also to increase the innovative strength of the companies.
The concept of joint lectures and technology transfer largely adopts the priorities and objectives of the Greater Region: strengthening industry, counteracting the lack of skilled workers and maintaining and expanding modern jobs. This cross-border research initiative makes it possible to jointly work on more complex tasks from industrial practice that could not be solved by each project partner alone.
