About Björn

Embedded & Automation Software Engineer (C++ / Python / Embedded Systems / Automation / Control Systems)


I developsoftwareandhardware-relatedsystems in the field of embedded and automation technology with a focus on control software, system integration, and dynamic technical processes.

My work combines embedded software development (C/C++, Python) with the development of automation and control systems for complex machinery and manufacturing processes. A key focus is on implementing control and evaluation algorithms in real technical systems and integrating them into hardware and test environments.

As part of my research, I am involved in model-based control of dynamic processes in additive manufacturing. This includes system identification, image-based analysis methods, and the use of model predictive control (MPC) to optimize process parameters in real-time systems. This work combines theoretical modeling with practical implementation and experimental validation.

Additionally, I have experience in developing test and automation systems (including EXAM, Python), building complex prototypes, and developing embedded and hardware-related software for experimental systems.
