I received my PhD in the Department of Mathematics at the London School of Economics under the supervision of László Végh, funded by his ERC grant ScaleOpt.
I also hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Bonn, where I was supervised by Stephan Held and Jens Vygen.
My current research interests are focused on the areas of algorithms, optimization, and game theory.
I am on the 2023/24 academic job market.
