I am a junior research group leader and KIT Associate Fellow at the Institut for Analysis within the Department of Mathematics at KIT.
Please refer to my group's webpage "Vortices and nonlinear waves" for more details on its activities.
Within collaborative research center CRC1173 Wave phenomena I lead the associated project AP9.

Further, I am a member of the KIT Young Investigator Network and the KIT Center MathSEE "Mathematics in Sciences, Engineering and Economics".
Last but not least, I am part of the CRC1173's running team waves∂kit.

In the current summer term, I am co-instructing a Master Seminar on Complex quantum systems and vortex dynamics: from analysis to numerical simulation with Dr. Moritz Hauck.

If you are interested in writing a Master's thesis on a topic aligned with my research activity, please reach out by mail.

Research interests

My research primarily concerns the mathematical analysis of nonlinear PDEs arising in the description of (geo-)physical and quantum fluid flow, often related to the propagation and interaction of nonlinear waves.
Motivated by relevant physical applications, I am particularly interested in the study of coherent structures such as (quantised) vortices and vortex filaments.
The main results of my research concern the well- and ill-posedness of related equations, the hydrodynamic stability and the characterisation of relevant asymptotic dynamics such as the dynamics of vortices and vortex filaments.
The mathematical techniques I employ stem a.o. from Fourier Analysis and the theory for dispersive, hyperbolic and transport equations.

You can find a list of my publications on my google scholar, zbMath Open or arXiv profile.

Short bio

Before joining KIT, I have been a post-doc fellow in the research group of Sebastian Herr at Bielefeld University where I conducted my research within the project A1 of the Collaborative Research Center 1283. Prior to that, I have been a post-doc fellow at the Institut Fourier, University of Grenoble Alpes, mentored by Thierry Gallay, Christophe Lacave and Evelyne Miot.
My PhD thesis completed at Gran Sasso Science Institute (2019) under the supervision of Paolo Antonelli and Pierangelo Marcati concerns the mathematical analysis of some hydrodynamic models describing quantum fluids and singular limits for these systems.
