Since November 2021 I am a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow within the scope of the project Effective Equations for Fermionic Systems, supervised by Chiara Saffirio. Before that, I spent two years in the group of Chiara Saffirio at the University of Basel and two years in the group of Robert Seiringer at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria. I obtained my Ph.D. in mathematics at the LMU Munich under the supervision of Peter Pickl.
My field of research is mathematical physics. In particular, I am applying tools from functional analysis, partial differential equations and semiclassical analysis to study the properties of effective evolution equations and to derive them from many-body quantum mechanics.
