My path into science started with an early studies program at TU Braunschweig, which allowed me to pursue part-time undergraduate studies in mathematics and physics during my last three years of high school. I continued my studies at TU Braunschweig after the Abitur, graduating in 2018, and then worked as a scientific employee at the Institute of Mathematical Finance at Ulm University. Following my passion for mathematical physics, I joined IST Austria in 2020, where I was affiliated with the research group of László Erdös. Afterwards, I continued to work on random matrices as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Alice Guionnet at ENS Lyon.
Starting in October 2026, I am a CNRS researcher (chargée de recherche) affiliated with the Institut Camille Jordan, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. My research interests lie at the intersection of probability theory, analysis, and physics, in particular random matrix theory and related topics.
