About

Jakob, sitting at a conference table, reflected in a switched-off TV screen — *Me, sitting at our FabLab looking into a switched-off TV screen.*

At the time writing (2025-01-27), I am finishing my degree in Computer and Systems Engineering (M.Sc.) at the Ilmenau University of Technology. Currently, I am interested in dynamic systems and control.

Apart from that, I am involved in our local makerspace and the KuKo e.V.. There, I organize cultural events to bring together people from different social bubbles aiming to support exchange of opinions and knowledge and to encourage the joy of creating things. One example for that is the kickelhack hackathon, I initiated in May 2024 in collaboration with the local startup service and our FabLab.
