As of September 2018 I am heading a junior research group on "Exact Results in Extended Holography" as part of the Emmy Noether program, funded by the DFG. 

I am also a principal investigator in the graduate school Rethinking Quantum Field Theory.

Our group studies aspects of integrability in AdS/CFT, more specifically: integrable deformations of sigma models, their applications in string theory and AdS/CFT, and twist deformations in noncommutative field theory, in particular applied to 4d maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
