For the year 2024/25 I am currently a Marie Curie and IST-BRIDGE Fellow at ISTA. Prior I was DFG-Eigenestelle Fellow in the Differential Geometry Group of Prof. Anna Wienhard at Universitaet Heidelberg. I was funded by DFG through the Priority Program SPP 2026 Geometry at Infinity. I was also a mentor for the Heidelberg Experimental Geometry Lab (HEGL).
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. In 2020/21 I was elected Deputy Speaker of the Young Research Convent of the Cluster of Excellence STRUCTURES.
In Winter 2024/24 I am organizing the Reading Seminar "Model Theory and Beyond" at ISTA.
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.
