About me

I am a research and teaching assistant at OvGU Magdeburg, where I am part of the algebra group led by Thomas Kahle.

I am currently finishing my Ph.D. in Mathematics at TU Berlin within the Berlin Mathematical School. I conducted my doctoral research in the group of "Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Data Analysis" led by Carlos Améndola. During my time at TU Berlin, I also served as a student counselor for the Institute of Mathematics.

I received my M.Sc. in Mathematics at OvGU Magdeburg under the supervision of Thomas Kahle and Carsten Conradi.

Research

My main research interest is algebraic statistics, in particular the likelihood geometry of discrete statistical models. More broadly, I am also interested in developments regarding discrete and applied algebraic geometry.
