Beruflicher Werdegang

Due to my inherent curiosity during my years in research I have worked on various topics ranging from pure computer science to tuberculosis epidemiology using phylodynamics, to method development for computational biology. I enjoy working on societally impactful problems and have worked hard to gain a unique panoramic view of the field and learn where my diverse skills are best applied.

Moreover, I love engaging with the community and sharing my knowledge with others. I have helped organise and taught in multiple Taming the Beast (https://taming-the-beast.org/) workshops around the globe and will be a teaching assistant in the CoME 2022 (https://coursesandconferences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/computational-molecular-evolution-20220718/) and CoME 2023.
