As a technician from an early age, studying electrical engineering was foreseeable. My diploma thesis took me into the world of medical devices. It was already clear back then that mastering the regulatory requirements (in addition to excellent technology) was the key to success.

The fact that all the European directives and standards - some of which are now in their third edition - were in the process of being developed only becomes clear today in retrospect. This gave me the unique opportunity to experience this entire, dynamic process of establishing the European system of regulatory requirements for medical devices from the very beginning and in some cases (e.g. with regard to risk management) even to help shape it.

I am a member of standardization committees, lecturer at universities and universities of applied sciences, speaker at international congresses, author of internationally renowned publications, etc.
