I am a mathematician working in the Differential Geometry Group at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Münster. I am an Investigator in the DFG-funded Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster: Dynamics – Geometry – Structure and a Principal Investigator in the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity.

My life started in Münster. Then I moved elsewhere and later came back. Before coming back to Münster, I also worked in Fribourg, Manchester, Bonn, Karlsruhe and Augsburg.

I obtained my PhD in 2010 at the University of Fribourg under the supervision of Anand Dessai and my Habilitation in 2017 at the University of Augsburg with the guidance of Bernhard Hanke.
