About
I was a PhD student and postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof.
Wolfhard Janke at the Theoretical Physics Institute of the University
Leipzig. My main focus was on generic properties of polymer aggregation
and particle condensation. This included finite-size scaling behavior
and the effect of confinement or constraints. In addition, I played
around with spin models and disorder.
Now, I am a postdoctoral researcher in Viola Priesemann's group at the
Max-Planck-Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organszation in
Göttingen, where I am looking at collective dynamics in neural
systems.
