Gerrit Fachinger studied mechanical engineering with a specialization in process engineering and automation technology at RWTH Aachen University and completed his studies in 2018 with the development of a digitized ultrasonic testing process as part of his master's thesis.
In his subsequent work at the Chair of Information and Automation Systems for Process and Materials Engineering, he worked on several research projects with well-known companies from the process industry. The main focus was on data analysis, process optimization and model development. He also taught his students how to secure, manage and control process engineering systems with commercial process control systems in the process automation internship.
He became interested in industrial property protection as early as 2017, when his master's thesis laid the foundation for a subsequent patent application by his supervising company. Gerrit Fachinger is a German patent attorney at the law firm Michalski Hüttermann & Partner.
