Experience

Research Assistant

Hochschule Luzern, IoT Systems and Software

November 2023 – February 2026

  • Built data processing, evaluation, and testing pipelines for ML models predicting temperatures in drinking water systems
  • Designed and built a physical laboratory apparatus that simulates a drinking water pipe under controlled conditions, including a climate chamber and a water flow control system
  • Designed a battery-powered ESP32 sensor that measures pipe temperature, runs on-device inference, and transmits predictions via LoRaWAN, with a second version developed on STM32
  • Built Raspberry Pi-based devices deployed on-site to collect high-frequency reference measurements using precision temperature sensors

Education

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Hochschule Luzern

September 2020 - July 2023

Bachelor thesis: Online IDE Construction Kit. A customizable web-based IDE platform for classroom use. Teachers define programming exercises via configuration files. Students work in isolated Docker containers running a Theia-based IDE with full LSP support (code completion, linting, diagnostics). A server application orchestrates container lifecycle and a reverse proxy routes requests to the correct instance.

  • Regional Siemens Excellence Award 2023: One of six awarded nationwide for an outstanding bachelor thesis in Electrical Engineering, Building Technology, or Computer Science.
  • Nominated for the IBM Award 2023: Selected as one of 5 university-wide nominees for an outstanding bachelor thesis and exceptional academic performance.
