Since April 2023, I am head of the junior research group 'Mathematical Physics of Complex Quantum Systems' at Paderborn University. See here for our group homepage. In 2022, I received my PhD in mathematics under the supervision of David Hasler at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, where I also obtained my bachelors and masters degree in physics.
I am interested in the mathematics behind problems from quantum physics, applying methods from functional analysis (especially spectral theory and operator theory) and stochastic analysis. Problems I have worked on recently include
spectral analysis of quantum field theories,
effective and critical limits of quantum theories,
functional integration methods (Feynman-Kac formulas and applications).
