In 1994 he started his career as a research assistant at the Institute for Ergonomics at RWTH Aachen University with Professor Dr. Holger Luczak . Among other things, he worked on human-machine interfaces in autonomous production cells and on computer-aided teamwork in simultaneous engineering . In 1997 he was appointed research group leader and in 1998 senior engineer at the same institute. In 1999 he received his doctorate from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University as Dr.-Ing. , where he completed his habilitation in 2004 .
