About me

Since 1 April 2025, I am a postdoctoral researcher within the ERC Synergy Grant "DynAMiCs" between the MPI-SWS and the IRIF, working with Valérie Berthé on decision problems lying at the intersection of dynamical systems theory, logic, and number theory. I received my doctoral degree from Saarland University and the MPI-SWS in 2024, and my bachelor's and master's degrees from University of Oxford in 2019. Here is my cv and dblp entry.
