Welcome! I am postdoctoral researcher in mathematics, based in Hagen, Germany, where I work in the research group of Steffen Kionke.

​

My research primarily focuses on infinite group theory and number theory, particularly on the representation growth of profinite groups.

​

I completed my PhD in Düsseldorf under the supervision of Benjamin Klopsch and Britta Späth as a member of the research training group GRK 2240: Algebro-Geometric Methods in Algebra, Arithmetic and Topology funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

​

Previously, I was an ALGANT master student at the Università degli Studi di Padova and Universiteit Leiden.

The canal, lined with bare trees and classic Parisian buildings, adds a calm, scenic backdrop with ducks floating in the water and soft sunlight breaking through the clouds
