PhD (Max Planck) | Process Modeling & Optimization Expert | Chemical Engineer | SAP & Excel Automation | Supply Chain

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Process Engineering from the Max Planck Institute in Magdeburg, Germany, and have over 10 years of experience across R&D, chemical manufacturing, and advanced process modeling. My core expertise lies in designing, simulating, and optimizing chemical processes using MATLAB and Python particularly in crystallization, kinetic modeling, and population balance equations. I currently work at DuPont Luxembourg, where I initially led pilot-scale technology development and emission-free process concepts in the manufacturing technology division. Recently, I transitioned into the supply chain division, where I support production planning, logistics, and inventory management. I’ve also developed automation tools using SAP scripting and Excel VBA to streamline reporting and decision-making. I offer freelance support in: • Process modeling, simulation & optimization • Scientific & technical writing for journals, reports, and whitepapers • SAP scripting & Excel VBA automation tools • Inventory analysis, production planning & logistics workflows (foundational experience)
