Curriculum Vitae

I am currently a PhD student at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) working together with Fabian Schneider. For my PhD, I study pulsations of red supergiants and their imprint on supernova light curves. Additionally, I am developing the next generation of BONNSAI, a Bayesian inference tool to compare observables to stellar models. For this, I am using machine learning tools to build emulators to interpolate grids of stellar models.

I hold a master’s degree in Physics from Heidelberg University, with a specialization in Astronomy and Astrophysics. For my thesis, I work with Fabian Schneider on developing a one-dimensional model to study common-envelope evolution using the stellar evolution code MESA.

I completed my undergrad studies also at Heidelberg University. During this time, did a research project and theses with Jochen Heidt at the Landessternwarte on localizing the host galaxies of fast radio bursts using optical and near-infrared surveys.
