About

I am Juniorprofessor at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing at Heidelberg University. Before moving to Heidelberg in April 2020, I was a postdoc at MIT in the group of Youssef Marzouk. In 2018 I completed my PhD at ETH Zürich with Christoph Schwab on Sparse-Grid Approximation of High-Dimensional Parametric PDEs.

Research

My research focuses on the methodological foundations and theory of forward and inverse problems in Uncertainty Quantification. I am interested in developing and analyzing algorithms for high-dimensional approximation based on sparse-grid techniques, neural networks and transport methods.
