Internship at the University of Duisburg-Essen

Issued by
University of Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Engineering, Electronic Components and Circuits (EBS)
Kind
Internship reference (Praktikumszeugnis)
Date
Internship 3 to 28 August 2026, letter dated 7 September 2026

The internship was voluntary and lasted four weeks, in the EBS field of study, where I worked on a control and image-analysis system for droplet-based microfluidic systems. My part was this:

  • integrating different hardware and software components into one system, and building the graphical user interface to run and evaluate it
  • running experiments and helping to commission, validate and optimise the system
  • developing methods for automatic image analysis, in particular for detecting and measuring microdroplets
  • documenting the software, the integration and the experiments, and evaluating the results

The work became FluidicStudio. I only show the reference page, because the cover letter has an address and bank details, so I left it out. The line with my date and place of birth is covered by a bar that's part of the image itself.
