Hi, there!

Thanks for dropping by! I am a physicist, a programmer and generally a hands-on kinda person. My current field of interest lies in quantum optics and quantum information. I prefer making things than just talking about them on paper. I also love to take photos.
Feel free to contact me below!

Probing local current measurements at finite temperature: a numerical toolkit for bosonic flux ladders
Master Thesis2025
LMU Faculty of Physics / Arnold Sommerfeld Center Simulation of ultracold atomic systems. We developed a robust numerical toolkit for bosonic flux ladders, used to, i.a., investigate local current measurement errors in experimental quantum gas microscopes for topological quantum computation and simulation. Through rigorous investigations, we identify fundamental limitations in contemporary measurement protocols. (HPC, ED, MPS, DMRG)
Modularity in Software-Hardware Interaction for Experimental Physics, an Example
Conference Talk2023
deRSE23 - Conference for Research Software Engineering in Germany YoungRSE Award Software-hardware interaction in experimental physics could be better, more interoperable, and more long-lived. This presentation hopes to bring this topic into the spotlight by presenting an example on how it could be done.
Construction of a time-averaged crossed optical dipole trap for ultracold 6Li atoms
Bachelor Thesis2022
Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Part of the Fermion Quantum Processor (FermiQP) experiment, which aims to use ultracold fermionic 6Li atoms to construct a novel combined digital- and analogue quantum processor.
