Work Experience

Master Thesis at Fraunhofer IEE
June 1, 2025 - November 5, 2025
Forecasting framework on large-scale 15-minute heat pump datasets (~3600 units, 90+ types). Benchmarked statistical (Regression), machine learning (XGBoost), and deep learning (LSTM, GRU, Transformer) models. Zero-shot transfer learning enabling generalization to unseen units, beneficial for newly installed or data-scarce heat pumps and supporting smart grid flexibility and demand response.
Student Research Assistant at Fraunhofer IEE
June 1, 2025 - June 1, 2025
Data and signal analysis of 15-minute time series from heat pump sensors; feature selection and input pattern design for generalizable forecasting representations; clustering of heat pump profiles to group devices with similar behavior and improve model generalization.
Data Analyst at Buildup Infotech
December 1, 2021 - December 1, 2021
Data analysis and statistical modeling to derive business insights; visualization with Tableau and Power BI; Python, R, and SQL-based processing for ETL workflows and automation; cross-functional collaboration to translate results into actionable recommendations.
Data Analyst Intern at Buildup Infotech
December 1, 2020 - December 1, 2020
Exposure to data visualization, statistical analysis, and introductory machine learning; emphasis on data quality and validation; contributed to dashboards and reports for KPIs and stakeholder insights.
