I am a professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Potsdam. I work in geometry and topology, where I have a particular focus on problems involving the scalar curvature of a Riemannian manifold.

Previously, from 2016 to early 2025, I was based at the University of Münster. Before that I obtained my doctoral degree in 2016 from the University of Göttingen, where I was a student of Thomas Schick.

I am involved in several third-party funded projects:

• My position is currently supported by the Heisenberg Programme of the DFG.
• I am leading the ERC Starting Grant project COMSCAL (press release).
• At Münster I am part of the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster and the CRC 1442 Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity.
• I have participated in the DFG priority programme Geometry at Infinity.
