I am originally from Augsburg, Germany.
Currently I am working as a postdoctoral fellow of the DFG Walter Benjamin Position at Heidelberg University, Germany, hosted by Peter Albers and Agustin Moreno. I am also a member of the Research Station Geometry + Dynamics.
In 2023 I completed my PhD at the Université de Neuchâtel, Switzerland, under the supervision of Felix Schlenk and co-supervision of Urs Frauenfelder.
I enjoy thinking about interactions between:
Symplectic geometry and topology
Hamiltonian dynamical systems and celestial mechanics (three- and four-body problems)
Analytical and numerical techniques to study periodic orbits and their bifurcations
Recent papers
Studying network of symmetric periodic orbit families of the Hill problem via symplectic invariants (with Alexander Batkhin)
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy 137(12) (2025)
