Before starting as a PhD student, I worked part-time as an undergrad TA, winning awards for best student TA (Preis für die beste Lehre der Fakultät für Informatik) in 2015, 2016, and 2017.

advised theses

Over the years, I have had the joy of advising many students doing their Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis. This list contains mostly theses where I also was the formal advisor (otherwise, it is stated explicitly). I have informally co-advised Rebecca Ghidini and Johanna Franziska Schinabeck, resulting in publications at SOAP and NSAD, respectively. The formal advisor for Rebecca and Johanna was Julian Erhard.
