About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical population genetics, working at the intersection of population genetics, biomathematics, bioinformatics, and machine learning. I am particularly interested in developing computational and interpretable machine learning methods for population genetics to address the challenges and opportunities arising from the rapidly growing volume of available genomic data.

I’m currently part of the Big Data Analytics in Bioinformatics group at Justus Liebig University Giessen, where I do research, teach, and supervise students. I studied mathematics at the University of Vienna, where I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees before earning a PhD in mathematics with a specialization in population genetics. Before moving to Giessen, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tübingen in the “Mathematical and Computational Population Genetics”-group. Alongside my research, I enjoy teaching computational subjects and supporting students as they find their own approach to interdisciplinary research.
