Department Urban Water Management

About Me

With a background as an electrical engineer I work as technician across departments. My main task is the support of research groups in questions related to:

  • Wireless data transmission and sensor networks
  • Sensors and electronics

The fieldwork includes deploying, testing, maintenance and optimization of measurement systems in the field of water research.

The research groups have diverse and innovative measurement tasks. In our laboratory for sensor networks, automation and electronics, we offer professional support for this.
