Welcome to my homepage!

Since April 2018, I am a Junior Professor in the symplectic workgroup at Heidelberg University.

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.

I am happy to supervise students for Bachelor and Master theses in English or German. If you are interested feel free to contact me and take a look at the following list of possible topics.

A couple of ways you can reach me:

I am offering the Proseminar Die wunderschöne Welt der Konvexität (in German/English).

I am giving the Master Seminar Variational Methods for Convex Hamiltonian Systems (in English).

I am teaching the Master lecture Differential Geometry II: Topology and Curvature (in German). Exercise classes will be held by Dr. Kevin Wiegand.

I am teaching the Bachelor lecture Differential Geometry I. Exercise classes will be held by Dr. Urs Fuchs.

I will be on leave from August 12 to December 15 to participate in the program Hamiltonian systems, from topology to applications through analysis at MSRI.

I will offer a student seminar on Integrable Hamiltonian Systems and the KAM Theorem in January and February 2019. Organisational meeting: 17.12.2018, 4pm, INF 205, Büro 3/402

I am teaching the class Geometrie der Himmelsmechanik.
