Welcome

I am a junior research group leader at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. My junior research group Stability of Nonlinear Waves is embedded in the Institute for Analysis of the Department of Mathematics. I am a member of the collaborative research center Wave Phenomena, where I am a principal investigator of the project A14 Nonlinear Stability of Periodic Waves in Dissipative-Dispersive Systems. I serve on the editorial board of Nonlinearity. Finally, I am a member of the KIT Young Investigator Network and the KIT Center MathSEE.

My research is supported by the German Science Foundation through an Individual Research Grant and the Collaborative Research Center Program.
