My colleagues will, scientifically speaking, describe me as a mathematical physicist that has morphed into some blend of a physical mathematician and a computational scientist with a profound inability to be happy unless things are computed explicitly and/or proved in full rigour.
I love computing and solving all kinds of mathematical problems, and am endlessly fascinated by how and why mathematics can describe the workings of the world around us. You can learn more about my research here.
I am a member of the ERC funded MaScAmp team at the AEI Potsdam and a member of the Mathematical Strucutres in Physics group, and an affiliate member of the Numerical Algebraic Geometry group at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences.
General scientific philisophy: If I can’t turn it into an algorithm, or formalize it for a computer, or prove that it can’t be turned into an algorithm, I don’t really understand it.

(Un)interesting things about me
- Existentialism and cosmic nihilism are my dear friends.
- I am an adrenaline junkie. I love solo mountaineering and wilderness backpacking.
- I am particularly fascinated by (active) volcanoes and enjoy climbing and observing them.
- I enjoy playing football, long distance cycling, trail running, surfing and boxing.
- I also enjoy nature (landscape and wilderness) photography.
