About

avatar

I finished my PhD under the supervision of Jens Markus Melenk in the doctoral program Dissipation and Dispersion in Nonlinear PDEs funded by the FWF at TU Wien.

Research Interest

My research interest is concerned with numerical discretizations of time-harmonic wave propagation problems as well as least squares finite element methods.

Besides that and due to my financial mathematics background I am interested in the connection to stochastics. Further interests of mine are the broad field of data science and machine learning. I gained my initial data science experience working at start-ups in Vienna.
