My research centers around the theory of modular forms and their generalizations as well as its various applications in number theory, geometry, combinatorics, physics, and representation theory.

Since March 2021 I am a professor at Bielefeld University. Before I was an assistant professor at Paderborn University. I obtained my PhD at TU Darmstadt under the direction of Jan Bruinier in 2015 and spent some time in Heidelberg and Cologne as a Postdoc afterwards.

In my free time I like to spend time with my family, go Mountainbiking or running or hiking.
