About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Sebastian Herr at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Bielefeld.
I am a member of Project A1: Nonlinear interactions of rough waves of the CRC 1283 Taming uncertainty and profiting from randomness and low regularity in analysis, stochastics and their applications in Bielefeld.

Before coming to Bielefeld, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Project A5: Qualitative behavior of nonlinear Maxwell equations of the CRC 1173 Wave Phenomena: Analysis and Numerics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where I also obtained my PhD under the supervision of Roland Schnaubelt.

Research interests

My research interests lie in the field of nonlinear dispersive and hyperbolic partial differential equations. I am interested in their low regularity well-posedness theory, qualitative properties, and long-time behavior. I also study the influence of randomness on the behavior of dispersive PDEs, investigating both problems with randomized data and problems with noise.
