Professional Career

Since August 2015 I work as a scientific associate at the Technischen Hochschule Mittelhessen at the Institut für Medizinische Physik und Strahlenschutz in the working group for radiation protection of Prof. Dr. Joachim Breckow. Since 2021, the group is led by Prof. Dr. Saskia Kraft-Bermuth who introduced a new reasearch field with cryodetectors.
