Peer-reviewed publications

The PANDA papers below were written during my time in the PANDA Collaboration at FAIR, where I work on the luminosity detector and HV-MAPS sensor characterisation.

Preprints and posters

  • Hyperon signatures in the PANDA experiment at FAIR (2023). arXiv: 2304.11977
  • Prospects for Spin-Parity Determination of Excited Baryons via the Ξ̄⁺ Λ K⁻ Final State (2022). arXiv: 2201.03852

Patents & utility models

  • Leiterplattengehäusevorrichtung (printed-circuit-board housing device) — German patent DE 10 2020 128 143, granted by the DPMA in January 2026, patent specification published 2026. Filed 2020. DPMAregister entry. The enclosureless-PCB concept behind it is described in my writing on enclosureless PCB design.
  • Leiterplatten-Gehäuse mit integrierter Sensorik — German utility model (Gebrauchsmuster, DPMA) parallel to the patent above; in force, renewed 2026.
  • Bodenfeuchtesensor (soil-moisture sensor) — German utility model (Gebrauchsmuster, DPMA), filed 2023; deliberately allowed to lapse in 2026.
  • OmnAIScope — German national phase of a PCT application (filed 2019, examination ongoing at the DPMA) covering the OmnAI automotive measurement scope developed with Auto-Intern GmbH.

German utility models are registered but not published the way patents are; verify via the DPMA’s DEPATISnet search.

Trademarks

  • OmnAI — trademark of Auto-Intern GmbH (international registration via the Madrid system): registered in Russia (2026); US application Serial 79411509 under examination at the USPTO. Role: co-developer of the OmnAI product line, trademark strategy together with Auto-Intern.
