About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics at KTH. I am part of the division of Mathematics of Data and AI, and belong to the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program working with Katharina Jochemko.
Before, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the number theory group at EPFL working with Maryna Viazovska, and an ICERM semester postdoc at Brown University. In 2017, I completed my PhD at the University of Cologne, advised by Frank Vallentin.
