I am pursuing a Master's degree in Mechatronics at the Technical University of Darmstadt and I have a particular interest in synthetic biology, analog electronics, and optics. I work at the Compugene Student Lab on the development of a spectrometer that can be used for disease detection. We custom design the spectrometer to be user friendly, cheap, precise and robust. This includes developing custom electronics, hardware and software. Additionally, I am responsible for 3D printing tasks in the laboratory.
