My research deals with different topics of pure and applied mathematics, touching the broad fields of analysis, ergodic theory and dynamical systems. Moreover, I enjoy teaching and have taught some Math courses for undergraduates.
News. Currently, I am looking for a full-time position in mathematical research or teaching (pure or applied) at a university.
I was a postdoc at the Institute for Analysis and Numerics of the University of Münster supervised by Prof. Dr. Marlies Pirner and obtained my PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in Mathematics at the University of Bremen under the supervison of Prof. Dr. Jens Rademacher and Prof. Dr. Marc Keßeböhmer. Most recently, I worked as a lecturer and research assistant at HS Bremen.
Some further details and additional information can be found in my Curriculum Vitae.
