Here is a brief overview of my academic background. For the full PDF version, click here.

I am currently a Postdoc in the Norman Yao’s lab at Harvard University. Previously, I was employed at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and Boston University. My research encompasses a broad range of topics, including dissipative systems, topological order, and various aspects of frustration.

I hold Master’s degrees in physics and mathematics from TU Dortmund University and completed my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, under the supervision of David Luitz and Roderich Moessner.
