I am a temporary Principal Investigator funded by DFG through the Priority Program SPP 2026 Geometry at Infinity, and I work in the group of Differential Geometry lead by Prof. Anna Wienhard at Universitaet Heidelberg. I am a member of the Research Station Geometry and Dynamics and the RTG 229 Asymptotic Invariants and Limits of Groups and Spaces . I am a mentor for the Heidelberg Experimental Geometry Lab (HEGL).

Research interests:

  • geometric group theory

  • Teichmueller theory & Mapping class groups

  • Hyperbolic Geometry & Low-Dimensional Topology

  • combinatorial and model-theoretical aspects of the topics above

I am also interested in the applications of differential geometry to machine learning/data science. Since 2019 I am a Young Research Member of the Cluster of Excellence STRUCTURES . In 2020/21 I was elected Deputy Speaker of the Young Research Convent and I have been an Active Member of the STRUCTURES Brainstorming Group since.

Organization:

In Winter 2022/23 I organize:

Together with Dr. Dia Taha I am a mentor for two HEGL projects in ``Mathematics for Social Good" in collaboration with Data Science for Social Good Berlin and ``Political Geometry".

In the past few years I have participated in a number of activities about AI innovation and data science, included MOXOFF Academy, heiINNOVATION, and MIT Bootcamp ``Innovation Leadership" (our project was selected for the Bootcamp Finals). In 2021 I was Brand Ambassador for MOXOFF Academy.
