Research interests

I’m a fourth year PhD student with Jakob Stix in the LOEWE research unit “Uniformized Structures in Arithmetic and Geometry”. My research area is Arithmetic Geometry, which roughly deals with questions from number theory using algebro-geometric techniques. In particular, I’m interested in anabelian geometry, i.e. the theory of reconstructing certain varieties from their fundamental group. In my PhD project, I (try to) describe the outer automorphisms of the absolute Galois group of p-adic local fields. In a current collaboration with M. Luedtke and A. Betts we look at the relationship between the Kim--Chabauty Conjecture and versions of the Section Conjecture. 

In my master thesis I studied Krull-valuations on function fields of arithmetic surfaces. You can find it here (in German).

Other activities

I’m member of the equality council (Gleichstellungsrat) of the Department of Computer Sciences and Mathematics (Fachbereich 12). If you want cool Ada Lovelace or Emmy Noether stickers, visit me at my office!

Since 2014 I’m involved with the math course at Hessische Schülerakademie (Oberstufe) – a summer program for gifted high school students. You can check out what we did in past courses here (in German). In 2021 we explored the (dio-)fantastical world of diophantine equations.
