About Me

I am currently pursuing my physics master at ETH Zurich and École Polytechnique Paris (l'X), majoring in theoretical high energy physics. Aside from physics and mathematics, I am very much interested in computer science and machine learning, electrical engineering and music. In my free time, I like to go swimming, running, or hang out in the alps.

Projects

Bachelor Thesis

I wrote my bachelor thesis at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität Bonn in the Theoretical Quantum Physics research group of prof. Corinna Kollath. In my thesis, I investigated the dynamics of a Floquet driven Hubbard model filled with two interacting particles. You can find my bachelor thesis clicking here.

Semester Project

I conducted a semester project within the Exotic Matter research group of prof. Paolo Crivelli at ETH Zurich. In this project, I used different machine learning algorithms to achieve a better signal to background ratio in o-Ps lifetime measurements. The corresponding report can be found here.
