Description
I will present on the opportunity to adapt the chosen career path and to benefit from the experience in various areas, namely research, business and intellectual property (IP) law. After studying physics in Bochum and Brighton, I did a joint French-German PhD in physics. Then, I have worked for five years at IBM Zurich Research Lab. My research brought me into contact with IBM’s patent attorneys. This influenced my next career step in direction of IP management. Five years ago, I have changed company to Sensirion, which offered the opportunity to build up its patent department from scratch. Sensirion was founded in 1998 as a spin-off from ETH and has become a leading manufacturer of flow and environmental sensors solutions.
