Welcome to my homepage!

Since April 2018, I am a Junior Professor in the symplectic workgroup at Heidelberg University. Starting September 2021 I will be an assistant professor at VU Amsterdam.

My research focuses on Hamiltonian dynamical systems and, in particular, on the existence of periodic orbits. The tools I use in my study come from the interplay of differential geometry, topology and the calculus of variation. As an example, I look at the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field.

Together with Jprof. Maria Beatrice Pozzetti, I am offering the Proseminar/Seminar Dynamics in one complex variable.

Together with Johanna Bimmermann and Steffen Schmidt, I am offering the Seminar Geometric Quantization.
