I am a theoretical and computational chemist with a focus on the use of quantum mechnanics for solving chemical problems. After completing my chemistry studies at Ulm University and the Technical University of Munich, I completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Frank Neese at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion and the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung. There, I focused on electronic structure theory, in particular multireference perturbation theory methods, and their application to magnetic properties and spectra of transition metal complexes.
After an 8-month parental leave following the birth of our child in 2020, I began working on my EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral project ML4Catalysis at the Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Sciences at the University of Oslo. Together with Prof. Dr. Thomas Bondo Pedersen and Prof. Dr. David Balcells, I worked at the intersection of quantum chemistry and machine learning.
Currently, I am a junior research group leader at the Technische Universität Berlin funded by a Liebig fellowship of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie. I have been a tutor at the prestigious European Summerschool in Quantum Chemistry (ESQC) since 2022.
