AI fundamentals
& mentoring
Build a working understanding of artificial intelligence. Explore its possibilities, ask difficult questions and develop the confidence to use it thoughtfully.
Good AI starts with better questions—
and data you can trust.
01 / From curiosity to practice
I’m Alkit—a scientist, AI consultant and mentor. I bring a researcher’s instinct to digital work: question assumptions, examine the evidence and find a useful next step. Together, we can turn a broad interest in AI into something concrete.
Build a working understanding of artificial intelligence. Explore its possibilities, ask difficult questions and develop the confidence to use it thoughtfully.
Connect AI to the tasks that matter to you. Explore where it could help, what an implementation would require and how to judge whether it is useful.
Look closely at the evidence behind a decision. Bring scientific methods, computational analysis and attention to data quality to complex questions.
02 / The substance behind the style
My background spans theoretical chemistry, computational materials research and experimental chemistry. I have modelled metal chalcogenides using DFT, G0W0 and the Bethe–Salpeter equation, and analysed complex IR and Raman spectra of hydroformylation intermediates.
At the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt), within DEHSt, I work on science-based implementation of the TEHG, focusing on the steel industry. My responsibilities include assessing reports, methods and permit applications, validating data, testing specialist software and coordinating AI-related activities.
Alongside this role, I work as a freelance AI Mentor at Innolea Institut, focusing on AI fundamentals, use cases and implementation.
03 / A wider field of view
Solar photochemistry with renewable feedstocks, GC reaction monitoring and 8–70 L reactors. Undergraduate practicals and pharmacy workshops brought the research into teaching.
Biomimetic micro-ikebana structures, crystal growth and materials characterisation using SEM, high-resolution SEM and EDX, with applications in catalysis.
Chemistry laboratory projects, adapting experimental techniques and developing practical solutions. A hands-on foundation for asking what works—and why.
Recipient of the Chitose Potsdam Photonics Prize and the University of Potsdam E-Learning UP Award.
Co-spokesperson, JungChemikerForum Potsdam (2018–2020) · GDCh Carl Roth Award selection committee (2022–2023).
My teaching experience spans organic, physical, environmental and theoretical chemistry—including teacher training—and mathematics (2011–2022). Making difficult ideas understandable remains central to my work.
My wider offering includes career development coaching, educational consulting, change management, strategic planning, technical support, software testing, custom software development, file management and personal assistance. We can discuss which experience is relevant to your project.
