Before working at the research support she was a doctoral researcher at the Institut für Nanostrukturtechnologie und Analytik (INA), receiving her doctorate in the field of Technical Physics at University of Kassel, and, as manager of the scientific center CINSaT, coordinated successfully the grant application for the continuation of the center."
