About Me

I am an applied mathematician and currently a postdoctoral researcher in the interdisciplinary project "Individualisation in Changing Environments" (InChangE) at Bielefeld University.

My main research expertise lies in game theory, network theory and behavioral economics. I obtained my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne and in Economics from Bielefeld University. Then I spent one year at the University of Hagen, studying dynamic modeling of international environmental cooperation.

Since recently I immersed myself in research in theoretical biology, in particular, eco-evolutionary interactions. My current projects focus on individual-based modeling of various biological and economic phenomena and investigate which role individuality plays in them.
