About me
I am currently a PhD student at TU Braunschweig in the research group Stochastics and Applications under the supervision of Benedikt Jahnel.
Research
Research interests
Broadly speaking, my research interests fall under the heading “random systems with interactions”.
For me, this often means studying physically motivated models originating from statistical mechanics, mostly using techniques at the interface of probability theory and analysis. In particular, I am interested in interacting particle systems, stochastic analysis, functional inequalities, large deviation principles, concentration of measure, point processes, random walks, and spectral theory.
Selected publications
All my articles are available on arXiv. A selection is listed below.
Can one feel the existence of a non-trivial invariant measure?
Asymptotically complete free-energy dissipation: a coarse MLSI holds at any positive temperature

Teaching
Both before and during my PhD studies, I have assisted with teaching introductory and advanced courses in analysis, probability theory, stochastic processes, and financial mathematics for bachelor’s and master’s students at TU Braunschweig. Some of these courses were also aimed at students in data science, engineering, education, and chemistry.
My responsibilities have included developing course exercises and exam questions, discussing solutions at the blackboard, and supervising student teaching assistants.
