Her PhD at the University of the Bundeswehr München was awarded in 2001 by the Commission of Professors in Measurement Technology in Germany (AHMT e. V.). As senior scientist from 2001-2006 at the University of the Bundeswehr München, she founded a working group on impedance spectroscopy and initiated the international Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices (SSD). In 2007 she became a full professor for measurement and sensor technology at Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany and initiated in the same year the international Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS). Within her research activities, she succeeded to establish intensive cooperation in education and research with several countries world-wide.

Since more than 15 years she has been carrying out research on power aware wireless sensors and sensor networks focusing on conversion, system design and promoting energy harvesting technologies into practice. She edited a. o. 14 books, where two books have been dedicated to energy Harvesting in 2009 and 2018. She published more than 80 peer-reviewed journal papers and over 400 papers in international conferences.
