Hi there,
im Denis Grelich, Mechatronics student from Germany. In two months I'll start writing my bachelor's thesis. My background is so far more on the electronics side but with a fair amount of mechanical design.
I like rockets and engines. A dream of mine would be to have a rocket that flies to space and to the moon!

Willkommen! We are very glad to have you on board. We have a definite shortage of electronics people at the moment, we need them far more than we need mechanical people.
Perhaps the most useful place for you to turn your attention right now would be to the OHKLA project, which will require a small, compact and low-power avionics system, incorporating such things as MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes, a GPS receiver, some basic radio broadcast equipment, a camera and some way to store this data (probably on a CF device or even just a USB stick). We have noticed that there is lots of cheap equipment along these lines at SparkFun electronics, who sometimes have very generous promotions, but none of us really know which parts would be easy to integrate with other parts.
If you were interested in working on this, you could basically take the lead of that part of the project and do whatever you like. It would be a huge help!
I look forward to working with you in the future should you decide to stick around!

Sorry, to be clear: whatever you like as long as it fits in with our design philosophy. :)

Very cool! By chance, I'm currently employed at the "Chair for Measurement Technology", so I do have some experience in that field. (I also work at the "Chair for Theoretical Electrical Engineering" but field simulations are not relevant here, are they.

Ach, Wunderbar! You sound absolutely perfect for this role. By the way, I am in the IRC channel right now, if you wanted to chat a little more about this part of OHKLA?
