About Me

Note: This website is currently a work in progress and will be updated shortly :)

I study how cosmic rays and magnetic fields influence the evolution of galaxies. Using advanced simulations and modeling tools, I connect theoretical predictions with observations across radio and gamma-ray wavelengths. My work helps reveal how these components influence star formation, galactic winds, and shape the cosmic environment around galaxies.

Scientific interests

  • Cosmic Rays
  • Galaxy Formation
  • Radio and gamma-ray emission

Personal Background

I am originally from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and I completed my PhD at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) in 2022. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) in Garching, Germany.

Outside of research, I enjoy hiking, skiing, dancing, reading and playing the piano.
