Since my school days I was interested in mathematics and natural sciences and my school (Wilhelm-Ostwald-Gymnasium in Leipzig, Germany) was supporting these interests. For my undergraduate studies I went to Munich and studied mathematics at the Technical University of Munich and physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University.

During these studies and in particular when working on my bachelor theses I developed a particular interest for geometry. My thesis in mathematics under the supervision of Daniel Matthes reviews a proof of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for quantum Markov semigroups that uses properties of gradient flows and my thesis in physics, supervised by Ulrich Schollwöck, investigated, how Einstein's field equations that govern general relativity can be deduced from thermodynamic assumptions. 

I have a masters degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge, where I attended lectures about geometry and topology and wrote an essay under the supervision of Alexei Kovalev about a proof of the Hodge decomposition theorem in differential geometry. Following the courses, I did a summer research project with Cyrus Mostajeran. We were trying to prove the convergence of a midpoint-approximating algorithm on the cone of symmetric positive semidefinite matrices. This got me interested in the applied side of geometry.

I am currently a second year student of the LSGNT (a PhD program). During my first year I worked on two mini-projects: in the first one supervised by Anthea Monod I reviewed cellular sheaves on simplicial complexes, their properties and applications. The second mini-project supervised by Lorenzo Foscolo was about a construction that glues two calibrated submanifolds.

Outside of maths, I play handball, chess and the piano, I like acrobatics and exploring nature by foot or bike.
