This is a curated overview of selected current and past projects. For a complete account of my experience, please refer to my CV.
Due to being unsatisfied with using another person's plots or graphics, I chose to create the render for the title page myself using Rhino8 and Grasshopper. This is a snippet of the perturbed stable and unstable manifolds from the paper "Homoclinic Orbits in Slowly Varying Oscillators" by Stephen Wiggins and Philip Holmes (1987). In particular, it depicts the example used, that is a single degree of freedom nonlinear oscillator subject to weak linear damping and weak feedback control. The project is currently in progress as I am working to improve the accuracy of the parametric deign as well as compare the Melnikov equations from both this paper and my Bachelor thesis. You can find snippets of the Grasshopper canvas below. (Ongoing)
You can download the draft Grasshopper file here (requires Rhino8 and Grasshopper Installed).

I supported a sustainable finance and climate-risk capacity-building project for the Palestine Monetary Authority and the EPCGF, aimed at strengthening the ability of Palestinian banks and MFIs to integrate ESG, climate risk, green finance, disclosure, and implementation tools into their operations.
My work focused on developing and refining participant-facing training materials across several modules, including sustainable finance foundations, governance and risk management, climate-related financial risks, green/MSME finance products, data and KPI reporting, taxonomies, disclosure, and implementation planning. I helped turn complex international frameworks, including ESMS, climate-risk governance, sustainable-finance product standards, KPI systems, and disclosure expectations, into structured slides, trainer notes, practical exercises, and answer keys suitable for financial-sector capacity building.
The project required combining research, regulatory interpretation, instructional design, and quality assurance. A major part of the work involved improving the clarity, structure, visual consistency, and practical usefulness of training decks and supporting materials, while aligning them with international sustainable-finance practice and the needs of Palestinian financial institutions. (Concluded May 2026)
Key outputs included:
refined training slides and trainer notes;
exercise answer keys and practical case materials;
module-level quality checks and restructuring;
participant-facing explanations of ESG, climate risk, green finance, and disclosure concepts;
alignment of content with international sustainable finance and climate-risk frameworks.
Due to confidentiality and project ownership considerations, I am not at liberty to share the full training materials or internal deliverables. I have provided mock slides as an illustration of the scope of research involved.
The Pernik project focused on developing an integrated energy-transition investment concept for the Municipality of Pernik, Bulgaria. The concept brought together building renovation, rooftop solar PV, municipal energy planning, renewable energy communities, circular energy production, and smart energy services into one coordinated investment programme.
At its core, the project aimed to reduce energy demand, lower emissions, improve building comfort, and create a more resilient local energy system. The investment concept included deep energy-efficiency renovation of multifamily residential buildings, rooftop PV for shared self-consumption, upgrades to public buildings, and the development of a municipal-led energy community.
A major part of the work involved structuring the technical and financial logic behind the programme: estimating energy savings, avoided CO₂ emissions, investment needs, PV generation potential, and the sequencing of implementation. The project also explored more advanced transition components, including a biomethane and green hydrogen hub at the Batanovtsi wastewater treatment plant, as well as AI-enabled energy analytics services for SMEs.
My contribution focused on supporting the development of the project concept, organizing the technical and financial assumptions, working with building and energy datasets, refining the investment logic, and translating complex energy-transition components into a coherent and fundable programme structure. (Concluded March 2026)
Key components included:
deep energy-efficiency renovation of multifamily residential buildings;
rooftop solar PV for shared on-site self-consumption;
public-building energy upgrades and PV systems;
a municipal energy community model;
biomethane, bio-CNG, and green hydrogen production concepts;
AI/GenAI-enabled energy services for SMEs;
energy savings, CO₂ reduction, CAPEX, and investment-readiness analysis.
Due to confidentiality and project ownership considerations, I am not at liberty to share the documentation related to this project. Moreover, the pre-feasibility studies I was responsible for were entirely written in Bulgarian.
Executive Summary
The W. Orchid Community Impact Project, led by Constructor University in Bremen, addresses two significant environmental challenges facing Bremen: urban flooding and the urban heat island effect. By designing vertical living walls, the project seeks to improve city infrastructure and quality of life. These installations use modular plates filled with plants and equipped with an irrigation system and sensors to monitor environmental conditions. W. Orchid emphasizes affordability and sustainability, utilizing recyclable polycarbonate and polyurethane foam as a plant substrate. The team of students from diverse disciplines, under faculty supervision, works collaboratively across design, botanics, and sensor integration to bring this solution to life. Partnerships with local and regional stakeholders support the project, ensuring it aligns with community needs and regulatory standards. (Concluded May 2025)
My role
I led the Vertical Living Project as a student-led concept-development initiative, setting the conceptual architecture for the research workstreams and coordinating the team’s contributions across market research, regulatory standards research, testing protocols, project handbooks, and implementation planning. The project concluded at the concept-readiness stage rather than moving into a physical pilot, as the next phase required a level of long-term technical, operational, and institutional capacity beyond the project’s available structure. The final output was a documented framework for future development, including a staged timeline and a Voronoi-based final design that I developed and was further developed by the team.
