My PhD research focused on the development of a new technique to explore the mechanical properties of novel materials such as high-temperature superconductors. Critical to this technique is a microfabrication process to structure unconventional—and often microscopic—materials into free-standing devices. I also designed the experimental set-up to conduct.

Dresden, Germany

I used Focused Ion Beam (FIB) microfabrication to develop devices for high-precision electrical studies of correlated electronic systems. Furthermore, I tested and repaired equipment for high-vacuum, cryogenic temperatures and optical measurements.

The National High-Magnetic Field Laboratory is home to the world's strongest continuous field magnet and welcomes users from all over the world across a wide range of disciplines for magnetic field research. I had the opportunity to work in a range of different functions assisting researchers in preparation for experiments, repairing and maintaining.

Materials research often begins with the fabrication and characterization of new samples, such that we can discover materials with intriguing properties, potentially useful for technological applications. I used flux growth and arc melting techniques to grow new single- and poly-crystalline samples of platinum binary compounds. I then characterized these.

At UC Davis, I conducted Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements on a material displaying interesting topological properties. The magnetic resonance of nuclei is highly sensitive to the external magnetic field, thus magnetic field stability is crucial for accurate results. I characterized a field drift in one of the magnet systems, which prevented.

During this job, I worked in all parts of the restaurant. This included: operating the register to take customers orders, preparing drinks and sandwiches, food preparation, dish washing and cleaning the kitchen.

Maitland, Florida, United States

I repaired and refurbished woodwind and brass-wind musical instruments. At special events, I represented the company and communicated directly with customers.
