I am currently serving as a substitute professor for Algebra and Number Theory at Goethe University Frankfurt. I am on leave from my position as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Timo Richarz at TU Darmstadt, where I am also a member of the Collaborative Research Center CRC 326 “GAUS”.
My research interests lie in the geometric Langlands program, with a focus on the wildly ramified case, as well as moduli spaces of meromorphic connections, local systems, Higgs bundles, and rigid local systems.
