In 2020, I finished my PhD in mathematics under the supervision of Winfried Kohnen at the University of Heidelberg. After a short teaching stint at DHBW Mannheim from April to October 2020, I have been working in Kathrin Bringmann's research group at the University of Cologne since November 2020. My research interests cover analytic and probabilistic number theory and modular forms.
I am one of the organizers of the International conference on modular forms and q-series, that will take place from March 11-15, 2024 at the University of Cologne.
