I am currently a FWO postdoctoral fellowship holder at the Department of Mathematics of the KU Leuven in Belgium. I am part of the analysis section - my academic supervisor is Prof. Dr. Stefaan Vaes.

My research is focused on the theory of C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras, dynamical systems, approximation properties and operator algebraic connections to geometric group theory.

Before coming to Leuven, I did my BSc and MSc at the University Münster in Germany. My bachelor's thesis, written under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Winter, was an exposition to the theory of Hardy spaces and Toeplitz operators. In my master's thesis, also supervized by Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Winter, I studied Renault's notion of Cartan subalgebras in C*-algebras and its relevance for the UCT problem. After my time in Münster I completed my PhD under the supervision of  Prof. Dr. Martijn Caspers at the University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands where I was part of the analysis group. The PhD project that I worked on was focused on the study of the structure of Hecke operator algebras.
