I’m fascinated by prosthetics, wearable technology, fashion, and human-centered design — especially where speculative design and emerging technologies move things forward.
About me
I am currently pursuing an apprenticeship in orthopedic technology, specializing in prosthetics and orthotics, while completing my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at the University of Vienna. Before moving into prosthetics, I worked in R&D at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, contributing to biosensor and point-of-care diagnostic development.
My current pursuit explores fashion as a way to think about inclusion, identity, and personal expression as an extension of clinical prosthetic care. It brings together my scientific background, my interest in design, emerging technologies and my belief that medical technologies should not only function well, but also feel personal.
I am curious, driven, and socially oriented, with a love for fashion, materials, creative projects, and my dachshund.
Now Building
Fashion as a Vehicle for Inclusion and Identity in Prosthetic Care
Currently in early development, my independent project explores accessible fashion solutions for prosthetic and medical device users, guided by research, interdisciplinary exchange, and practical implementation.
Prior Engagements
Clay Connects - Töpfern auf Rädern
ClayConnects – Töpfern auf Rädern is a volunteer project created by my dear friends — Makbule, Gloria, Serdar, Elaria — and me to make creative spaces more accessible for children, young people, and people from marginalized social backgrounds, including people with disabilities. As a team shaped by different cultural backgrounds and migration stories ourselves, creating spaces built around openness, creativity, and community felt especially close to our hearts.
Supported by the European Solidarity Corps, we organized mobile pottery workshops across Vienna focused on self-expression, connection, and simply making things with our hands. During the 2025 project period, we reached around 250 people — and probably carried several tons of clay through the city along the way. It was a real joy to be part of a project that allowed people to slow down, connect, communicate, and simply have fun together.
Scientific Contribuitions
During my work in biosensor development, I had the opportunity to contribute to interdisciplinary R&D projects exploring and developing wearable biosensors, microfluidic systems, and new approaches to diagnostics.
ELSAH — Wearable Biomarker Monitoring
As part of the EU-funded ELSAH project, I contributed to the development of wearable biosensors for continuous biomarker monitoring. The project explored how molecular sensing technologies can support preventive healthcare through real-time health insights and wearable systems.
HydroChip2 — Lab-on-Chip Diagnostics
In the HydroChip2 project, I worked on microfluidic lab-on-chip systems for rapid pathogen detection. The research combined biosensing technologies, nanostructures, and electrochemical methods to develop faster and more accessible diagnostic tools.
