I did my PhD at the University of Münster, Germany and then became a research fellow at CERN. I have witnessed the first 284 collisions in ALICE in 2009 and worked on turning it into the first ALICE physics publication (dNch/deta in 900 GeV pp collisions). I have then continued working on minimum-bias and underlying event physics for a while and moved to the measurement of hydrodynamic flow with the first available Pb-Pb data in 2010. I have been at the forefront of the discovery of triangular flow and the double-ridge structure in p-Pb collisions. Since then I have worked specifically on the tantalizing physics of small systems.

Furthermore, I have been active on the ITS2 upgrade, in particular on the ALPIDE chip characterization as well as mass testing, and I have been a core developer of the LEGO and Hyperloop train systems as well as the Run 3 analysis framework in O2.

In my past, I have been PWG convener, junior representative and analysis coordinator. Since 2018, I am section leader of the CERN ALICE physics team.

In my spare time, I like to go sailing and swimming, and enjoy board games.

I am proud of our open-minded, friendly and diverse team. Do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to work with us.
