Biography

I am currently a Research Scientist at NEC Laboratories Europe in Heidelberg (personal webpage). There, I am located in the Intelligent Software Systems (ISS) group, working at the intersect of scientific computing, system platform, and machine learning.

Before joining NEC in 2022, I did my PhD in computational/statistical physics at the University of Leipzig (personal webpage), where I worked on simple but complex physical model systems. One focus was to come up with new methods to observe new physics. In between, I had a short stint at the University of Marburg, working within the bioinformatics group.
