About me

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.
