Hey everybody.

I'm working under the supervision of Sarah Sahabi on the SKIRIM project. My work is mainly focused on prototype realisation for research projects/papers, which includes ideation and concepts for feasibility in hardware and software, as well as building partial or full proof of concept Prototypes.

I also worked with Oliver Nowak on the previous research Project Rime, with the same area of responsibility.
