• designing solutions, focusing on the logistical (material) handling.


• overseeing process installations and ensuring alignment with LHC suppliers and POC Program stakeholders.


• determining the LHC requirements for a Digital Twin and providing input on simulation tools for business process analysis.

• supporting Project Management, conducting testing and validation, and performing data analysis.
