_Teaching_Materialdesign_Research
Since 2019 I was affiliated with the IMD Institute for Materialdesign and Advanced Material Studies at the University of Art and Design hfg Offenbach. I was part of the Team when the Institute moved from the historic Isenburg casle in Offenbach into the Höchst Porcellain Manufactory (HPM), playing a critical role in organising the new laboratories, teaching and workspaces and the intersection of historic porcellain manufactorial working with the teaching and researching of materialdesign. I co-supervised all projects that were made in the materialdesign program up until Summer 2026.
