EcoCoat — Bachelor thesis & ALE programme

Adaptive laboratory evolution of E. coli 498 toward toxic industrial reaction water in the EcoCoat project at IMC Krems, with Kansai Helios as industry partner.

Adaptation campaigns reached up to 70% reaction water. The bachelor thesis on this work was completed in 2026; stable tolerance and ecotoxicity validation remain open questions in the project.

Details
Context
Industrial reaction water from polyester resin production is currently incinerated. EcoCoat tests whether biology can treat it instead.
My role
Project intern, then scientific staff. I design and run the morbidostat experiments, build the analysis pipelines, and set up the validation assays.
Methods & tools
  • Morbidostat ALE
  • Python time-series analysis
  • Microtox bioassay (in progress)
Outcome
Adaptation campaigns reached up to 70% reaction water. The bachelor thesis on this work was completed in 2026; stable tolerance and ecotoxicity validation remain open questions in the project.

eLabFTW inventory — setup, scanner, VialTrack

A mobile-first inventory companion for the eLabFTW electronic lab notebook — built during a lab digitalization pilot and released publicly under Apache-2.0.

Timeline

  1. Completed

    eLabFTW setup in my laboratory group

    Consolidated 59 file-level Theraferm entries into four structured eLabFTW experiments and built an unattended API v2 migration workflow with staging, verification, and safe deletion.

  2. ReleasedAugust 2026

    Inventory Scanner for eLabFTW — open-source release

    Released publicly under Apache-2.0 in August 2026. Public repository with 131 automated tests, a write gate that defaults to read-only, and screenshot documentation generated from synthetic demo data.

    VialTrack — inventory companion at Schild Lab

    Live owner-only canary for registering and managing lab containers against Schild Lab eLabFTW. Icon-branded, eLabFTW-look UI; GxP sign-off is still open.

Details
Context
The lab group's digital records were scattered across Teams exports and inconsistent file structures.
My role
Designed the target eLabFTW structure and built the migration workflow for the group.
Methods & tools
  • eLabFTW API v2
  • Experiment grouping
  • Staging and verification
Outcome
59 file-level Theraferm entries consolidated into four structured experiments and resources. The scanner grew out of this setup.
VialTrack mobile home — eLabFTW-look UI with Register and Manage, supplier scan optional.

Publit

Free, open-source public transport app for iPhone: live departures nearby, trip planning across Europe and every connection on one timeline. No ads, no account, no tracking.

Working v0.1 (nearby departures, trip planning, route comparison, saved places) and a real-time converter for the Bari city buses, prepared for Transitous.

Details
Context
Mainstream transit apps are slow, full of ads and miss real-time data in many cities. Publit builds on Transitous, a community-run routing service for open transit data, and fixes missing feeds upstream so every open app benefits.
My role
Independent project: concept, iOS app, data work.
Methods & tools
  • SwiftUI (iOS 17)
  • MOTIS 2 API via Transitous
  • GTFS / GTFS-Realtime
  • Python converter (AMTAB Bari JSON → GTFS-RT protobuf, validated against the static feed)
Outcome
Working v0.1 (nearby departures, trip planning, route comparison, saved places) and a real-time converter for the Bari city buses, prepared for Transitous.

AI agents, automation & assisted development

An AI-assisted workflow built on structured prompts, automation, and plan-run-verify loops, for research and personal tooling.

I use it across research, documentation, and software work to structure planning, execution, and verification.

Details
Context
Research and side projects generate repetitive setup, analysis, and documentation work.
My role
Designing prompt workflows and automation loops for my own research and tooling stack.
Methods & tools
  • Structured prompts
  • Agent tooling
  • Plan-run-verify loops
Outcome
I use it across research, documentation, and software work to structure planning, execution, and verification.

Second brain — PARA & AI-assisted knowledge management

A PARA-based second brain in Notion where I capture research, notes, and decisions, and use AI to organise and retrieve them without letting it do the thinking.

One system for notes, tasks, and reference material. AI handles organisation and retrieval, I keep the reading, recall, and decisions.

Details
Context
Coursework, thesis, and side projects generate more notes and references than I can hold in my head.
My role
I designed the PARA structure, the capture workflow, and the rules for where AI helps and where it stays out.
Methods & tools
  • Notion / PARA
  • Structured prompts & AI agents
  • Active recall
Outcome
One system for notes, tasks, and reference material. AI handles organisation and retrieval, I keep the reading, recall, and decisions.
