About

I started as a PhD student at the Statistical Learning & Data Science working group in February 2022, also collaborating with Data Science Group chaired by Prof. David Rügamer, and obtained my PhD in November 2025.

I hold a Bachelor's degree (B.A.) in Business Administration from DHBW Ravensburg and a Bachelor's and consecutive Master's degree (B.Sc., M.Sc.) in Statistics from LMU Munich.
