With climate change posing a growing threat to life around the globe, solutions to decarbonise energy and mobility systems are crucial. The EU-funded Energy ECS project addresses the issue by developing innovative ICT and electronics solutions focusing on the interface of energy and mobility. The project builds on six use cases showcasing advanced energy and mobility solutions of the future: enablers of new logistics modes, energy independent intermodal transport, charging technologies and opportunities, grid stability responding to bi-directional charging, and strengthened foundation of safe autonomous driving. The project facilitates the emergence of completely new business models and ecosystems, enabled by the restructuring of technology and business value chains that energy and mobility sectors are currently facing.

The CHARM ECSEL JU project aims to develop industrial IoT (Internet of Things) solutions with an improved tolerance towards harsh industrial surroundings. Digitalisation of the European manufacturing industries is the key to their continuous renewal and competitiveness. Harsh environmental conditions in manufacturing processes and end user environment may slow down the opportunities brought by IoT and AI (Artificial Intelligence). The CHARM (Challenging environments tolerant Smart systems for IoT and AI) project is set to solve this challenge.

My tasks included basic core logging activities and XRD analysis of samples. My existing skills were beneficial for developing working methods.

I worked as a Seasonal Administration Officer and Junior Technical Services Engineer in a wide variety of tasks at Kevitsa site in Petkula, Finland. Never was I hesitant to dive into operational work also, when needed. I've also published my B.Eng thesis with Orica on real-time measurement of blasting gas emissions with a drone.

My responsibilities included preparing geochemical samples for analysis as well as analyzing them with ICP-OES, FAAS and XRF. I had a role in maintaining our ICP-OES equipment in an excellent working condition.
