Research

At the moment I mainly work on symplectic capacity of symplectic manifolds with nice symmetries. Techniques I use come from Hamiltonian dynamics, Riemannien geometry and the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. Generally I am also interested in symplectic topology and its interplay with physics.

Teaching & Organization

This semester (SS 24) I do a tutorial for 'Kurven und Flächen'. Office hours are wednesdays from 12:00-13:00.

Workshops & Seminars

I listed some of the seminars and workshops I attended recently.

About Me

I grew up and got my Abitur in Braunschweig, a medium sized city in lower saxony. When I had finished school I wanted to have a look out of the nutshell and spend a year somewhere in the bushes of the north of Namibia. When I came back I thought physics was the right thing to do and I did my Bachelor at the University of Heidelberg. During that time I was a lab assistant at the Max Plank Institute for nuclear physics and gave some tutorials at the University of Heidelberg. Even though I really enjoyed studying physics, in the end, I realized that I was more fascinated by the mathematical structures behind physics. Thus I continued my academic education with a Master and a PhD in mathematics, both under the supervision of Gabriele Benedetti. Besides math I really love sports. I have been playing football and field hockey basically all my life. The picture shows me wearing my favorite colours (Eintracht Braunschweig). These days I play field hockey for HC Essen.
