🎓 Academic Background

Jun 2017 Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at FUB
Oct 2013 Diploma in Mathematics at FUB

🔬 Research

My main area of focus lies in the development and application of quantum- and tensor-based methods. These methodologies have proven to be incredibly effective in solving complex problems across a range of fields. In addition to this, I have a strong interest in various topics in the fields of machine learning and data-driven approaches, kernel-based techniques, dynamical systems and transfer operators, catalytic systems, chemical reaction networks, and quantum mechanics, including quantum computing and simulation.
