I am a Ph.D. student in mathematics at Penn supervised by Prof. Ron Donagi. Before that I completed my master's in mathematics and physics at the University of Munich and my bachelor's in mathematics and physics at KIT.

My main interests are mathematical physics and homotopy theory. More concretely, I am interested in QFTs with a focus on CFTs, gauge theory and the study of complex manifolds. Also, I am quite interested in stochastic processes.

I completed my master thesis in mathematics supervised by Prof. Markus Land on the Classification of stable cohomology operations. Before that I worked with Prof. Ilka Brunner on truncated affine Rozansky-Witten models as unoriented TQFTs.
