My Projects
I got a few projects going on right now, I want to tell you a little bit about them so you know what I do in my spare time. From every project I learn different things in different areas. For example in my e-commerce company, I learn about building websites, making good marketing, editing pictures and so on. At WSI I learn much about engineering, about electronics and physics. In our start up I can learn much about start up stuff, about how to grow an idea, how to solve different kinds of problems and so on. I am sure I can bring from every project some experience in our team and together with your experiences we can achieve great things 🙂
My e-commerce company
Selling products on amazon and my own website
The most sales are on amazon, but bigger orders go through the website. I started this over a year ago and it got constantly bigger. In the first 2 months I only sold 3 units, now more than that every single day. It’s like a hobby next to my studies and I still do it more for the fun and the learnings than for the money. In fact I never got money out of the company, I reinvested everything. It’s just amazing to see your own company grow, you also get in contact with more and more customers and you get to know the market better and better. My listings are still not really good and there’s much potential to grow.
Here you can see one of my products. I figured out for me personally that entrepreneurship is definitely the right thing for me, of course it takes much effort and time and sometimes it can be really tough, but overall it gives you back way more.
Physics
As I already said, I study physics at TUM. I’m going to write my thesis next semester and I’m really looking forward to it. Now I can finally use the stuff I made at WSI for research in the area of 2D materials.
My work at Walther Schottky Institut
On the one side you can see one of my designed PCB’s. There are two radio frequency signals and twelve DC signals. The space in the middle is where the sample will be. On the other side you can see the PCB „in action“, it is the samplespace of a cryostat. In case you don’t know, a cryostat is a scientific instrument with which you can cool down stuff to a few milli kelvin, around -273°C. The experience I got there will definitely help me designing a very good prototype and I’m curious to use my knowledge in different applications. I am sure as a team we will come up with something special.
Cryogenius
Our high tech startup – Enabling the next frontier of quantum technology
Cryogenius is nearly like a dream coming true. If I could tell my 17 year old self that I do this now, he would be going crazy about that. My job is the technical side. But what do we even do?
We are developing our own cryostat. That idea is out of the Tech Challenge a year ago. We found a really awesome team, although we weren’t doing tech challenge in the same team. The problem is that there are relatively cheap cryostats on the market, which don’t satisfy the users needs and on the other side there are very expensive ones, exceeding the users need by far. So we come in the middle. We are building the cryostat very modular, so you can swap out the magnet for example, what isn’t possible for the cryostats on the market right now. On the business side we developed a trade in model which allows customers to trade in old parts to get discount on new ones. That makes the funding process for researcher easier.
I’m working on the prototype right now, doing first parts of the cryostat. To the fully working prototype it is still a long way.
