About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné, Université Côte d’Azur in Nice, where I work on the ERC Advanced Grant project Exploration for Large Interacting Systems of Agents, led by François Delarue.

Previously, I worked in the School of Mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, first as a Visiting Scholar supported by a fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and then as a Hale Visiting Assistant Professor. During this time, I was mentored by Andrzej Święch.

I obtained my PhD from Technische Universität Berlin and the Berlin Mathematical School. My supervisor was Wilhelm Stannat.
