Experienced Electrochemist & Smart Window Expert

Profile Summary

I am a chemist with Dr. rer. nat. from Humboldt University Berlin 1994 (semiconductor electrochemistry). I am based just outside Berlin, Germany. Since 1994, I worked for several start-up companies in Germany, USA and Sweden, either as an employee, co-founder, independent sales representative or consultant. Currently, I offer my huge experience in the fields of Smart Windows and Electrochemical Water Treatment and Disinfection to companies working in the corresponding industries.
