Published January 20, 2026

I moved from engineering to mathematics when I was pursuing a master’s degree at ETH Zürich, and later continued with a Ph.D. in mathematics under the supervision of Michael Struwe. 

My research focuses on the analysis of partial differential equations, especially those arising from fluid dynamics. I am motivated by the interplay between rigorous analysis and physical intuition, and I enjoy exploring both theoretical and numerical aspects of complex systems. 

Outside of research, I like to stay active by cycling, snowboarding, and swimming in lakes, which help me stay balanced and inspired.
