About me

I am a Senior Scientist at ETH D-Math, a member of the Global Young Academy and a European citizen by conviction. Born and raised in Germany, mathematics brought me to work at several amazing institutions across Europe, Northern America and Australia. My mathematical research focus on phenomena arising in physics and machine learning. To solve the questions arising there, I use tools from applied analysis, partial differential equations and probability theory. As a fundamental scientist, my goal is to capture the qualitative and quantitative behavior of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, which can be perturbed by noise.

I also have a degree in Protestant Theology, with a focus on ethics of technology. Since my time at the Munich Centre for Machine Learning, I combined both worlds through cross-disciplinary work in Digital Theology and AI ethics. My main projects included leveraging Machine Learning techniques for digital editions of biblical manuscripts, and algorithmizability of ethics.

In 2024, I was appointed topic expert, contributing in the background to the invaluable work of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Scientific Advisory Board.

As member of the Global Young Academy, I do my best to strengthen the voice of young scholars worldwide and contribute to the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) https://coara.eu/ . I was recently shortlisted for the European Commission's Group of Chief Scientific Advisors.
