I am a PhD student in mathematics at the Heinrich-Heine University of Düsseldorf under the supervision of Marcus Zibrowius (HHU) and Jens Hornbostel (BUW). As such, I am part of the research training group GRK 2240: Algebro-Geometric Methods in Algebra, Arithmetic and Topology, which is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG).
Academic Interests: I am interested in derived categories, triangular Witt groups and the McKay Correspondence.
Before starting my PhD, I completed my bachelor's and master's degree at the University of Göttingen. You can find my academic CV here.
