"From 2003 to 2008, I studied mathematics and physics at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and Kiel University where I earned my Diplom degree in 2008. In 2011, I completed my doctorate at Kiel University under the supervision of Carsten Schütt and Hermann König with a thesis on "Subspaces of L1 and Combinatorial Inequalities in Banach Space Theory".  Once I had earned by doctoral degree, I spent a year as a postdoc at the University of Alberta in Edmonton (Canada), working with Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann and Alexander Litvak. From 2012 to 2015, I was Senior PostDoc at Johannes Kepler University in Linz (Austria) and accepted an invitation to join the University of Hull (UK) in 2015. In 2018, I moved to Karl Franzens University in Graz (Austria) where I completed my habilitation procedure in mathematics in 2021. Since April 2021, I have been professor at the University of Passau and head of the Chair of Functional Analysis."
