About me

I am a computational physicist working at Schrödinger, Inc. in the Life Science Software department.

Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. In my work in the Dror Lab, I used molecular dynamics simulations on supercomputers to discover signaling processes in membrane receptors and machine learning methods to predict properties and behavior of drug-like molecules.

In Summer 2019, I defended my PhD at Goethe University about my work in the Department of Theoretical Biophysics at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics. In my thesis, I investigated lipid membranes theoretically and with molecular simulations. During my time in Frankfurt, I was also active in the student organisation of the German Physical Society and in the PhD student representation of the Max Planck Society.

During my Master and Bachelor, I focused on materials physics, simulating polyelectrolytes at the Institute for Computational Physics in Stuttgart, stress-strain behavior of alloys at the Institute of Materials Science in Stuttgart, and nanobridges of shape-memory alloys at the Statistical and Computational Physics Group in Konstanz.

Besides science, I find a lot of joy in photography.

Now you can find me on Mastodon, too.
