Project H2GAThe H2GA project focussed on developing a fuel cell system for use in a small aircraft. My main activities included the technical design and procurement of suitable components for the system. To this end, I gained an overview of the market for fuel cell components and liaised closely with various companies. Working in a small team, communication with colleagues was essential.AchievementsDuring my limited time, I found solutions for all system-relevant components, which allowed me to start building the first prototype shortly after I left (due to my studies). Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology The Fraunhofer ICT is part of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, the largest research organization in Europe. The institute comprises four core areas: chemical processes, plastics technology, explosives technology and energy and drives. The working group (applied electrochemistry) in which I was able to work deals with the development of electrolyzers, fuel cells and batteries as well as associated processes.

Development and construction of a component test stand for an HT-PEM fuel cell systemMy task was to design and construct a test stand for a methanol-fuelled burner that preheats a fuel cell system. The aim was to check the burner's functionality before installation in the fuel cell system and thus avoid system failures. Uniform quality criteria were determined by recording and analyzing test data (using Python scripts) and a standardized test procedure was implemented. AchievementsThe test stand was successfully set up and put into operation together with the responsible production employee. In addition, quality criteria for the burner were established for the first time and data on the test runs were stored to be able to trace them and make statements about the quality of the burners.Siqens GmbHThe methanol-powered HT-PEM fuel cell system Ecoport from Siqens GmbH offers an environmentally friendly and quiet alternative to conventional diesel generators. The compact system is used in off-grid applications.

During my internship at Schottel GmbH, I had the opportunity to familiarise myself with and apply various manufacturing processes such as turning, milling, drilling, sawing and darting in practice. This helped me as an engineer to understand what needs to be considered when designing components. I was also able to gain a detailed insight into the manufacturing processes of a large company.Schottel GmbHSchottel GmbH is a large international company with around 1500 employees. Its core expertise lies in the development and production of propulsion systems for ships of all types and sizes.

Student trainee | Accident Reconstruction DepartmentDuring my work as a student trainee in the accident reconstruction department at Steinacker Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH, I supported the investigation of accident events for the preparation of court reports. My main activities included preparing expert reports as well as photographing and measuring accident sites. In particular, I learned to work analytically and to pay attention to detail. The close cooperation with my colleagues also strengthened my communication skills.Steinacker Ingenieurgesellschaft mbHSteinacker Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH is a medium-sized company in the west of Germany that prepares accident and expert reports for motor vehicles for private or judicial purposes. It also offers main and exhaust emission tests for motor vehicles.
