ABOUT

I am currently a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore working with Prof. Marc Kamionkowski and Prof. Charles Bennett.

In my research, I focus on the dark components of the Universe, like (early) dark energy, neutrinos, and dark matter, and I am interested in current tensions and anomalies that could give clues about these components. I use methods from both Bayesian and frequentist approaches since they give interesting complementary insights on new physics beyond the standard ΛCDM model.

I finished my PhD in 2023 at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching working with Prof. Eiichiro Komatsu. I received my Master’s and Bachelor’s degree from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in Erlangen working on cosmological perturbation theory and on gamma-ray astronomy at the Erlangen Center for Astroparticle Physics .
