I am a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Sebastian van Strien and part of the Dynamical Systems group at Imperial College. My PhD research revolves around Dynamical Systems in Game Theory.

Previously, I obtained a pre-diploma (German "Vordiplom") in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Dortmund (Germany) and an M.Sc. in Mathematics at the University of Warwick.
