I am a 3rd year PhD student in the DFG research training group MathCoRe. My supervisors are Benjamin Nill and Gennadiy Averkov. My research focuses mainly on the different aspects of lattice polytopes, in particular on the investigation of mixed invariants of tuples of lattice polytopes, which is among others motivated by the interpretation as the set of Newton polytopes of a given system of polynomial equations.

Before that I did my bachelor's and master's degree at the Technical University Munich.
