History

I was born in 1999 in Hamburg, Germany. I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees at the Hamburg University of Technology. I am now continuing my academic path in the PhD program at the University of Waterloo, where I was an exchange student in 2023/2024.

Research Interests

My research focuses on virtual model building and the identification of multi-axis machine tool dynamics. The goal is to develop improved, more reliable, and more realistic virtual machine tool models that accurately capture inter-axis coupling effects.

Hobbies and Activities

In my free time, I enjoy participating in sports—especially soccer—and playing board games. I also like exploring new places and going on hikes.
