I studied Physics at the Georg-August-University Goettingen. For my bachelor’s thesis, I worked with Prof. Dr. Peter Sollich on a coarse-graining approach for stochastic dynamics. For my master’s thesis, I investigated the relaxation of driven diffusive systems in the Mathematical bioPhysics Group of Aljaz Godec at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences. I joined the group of David Zwicker as a Ph.D. student in the autumn of 2022 and am interested in statistical physics and thermodynamics and how these frameworks can describe biological phenomena, such as phase separation.
