Before joining the Zwicker group as a postdoc in October 2024, I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Göttingen, where I worked on the interplay between kinetic timescales and thermodynamic driving forces in multi-component mixtures. Currently, I am interested in the theoretical description of multi-component systems in biological contexts, where phase separation is combined with other biochemical/physical processes to achieve functionality. My aim is to learn how to control structure formation in biological condensates. Outside of work, you'll find me either playing chess or playing jazz.
