About

From February 2026, I will be a postdoc in Prof. Dr. Kathrin Bringmann's group at Uni Köln. I am mainly working with Danylo Radchenko, Daniil Rudenko and Herbert Gangl on questions around multiple polylogarithms in weight 5 and 6. I am also discussing with various other colleagues on questions around the structure of multiple zeta values and related objects, also in the direction of \(q\)-MZV's, \(q\)-series and modular forms.

A lot of my work has a computer-experimental basis; I use various computer algebra systems like gp/pari, SageMath, Mathematica or Maple, to investigate interesting algebraic structures, and to find patterns in the results.

You can view my cv (updated February 2026).

Previously I was:

• A postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn.
• A teaching postdoc, and then DFG Eigene Stelle grant holder, at Universität Hamburg, in the research group of Prof. Dr. Ulf Kühn,
• A guest at the Isaac Newton Institute (Cambridge, UK) during the \(K\)-theory, algebraic cycles and motivic homotopy theory programme,
• A postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn,
• A guest at the Multiple Zeta Value Research Center (Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan),
• A Teach@Tübingen fellow, at Universität Tübingen, in the group of Prof. Dr. Anton Deitmar.
