Welcome to my website

About

I am currently a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter at Ruhr-Universität Bochum working in the team of Axel Bücher. Prior to this, I completed my PhD in Probability and Statistics at the Jean-Alexandre Dieudonné Laboratory of Université Côte d’Azur, working with the Lemon team at INRIA, Montpellier. My research interests focus on extreme value theory and machine learning.
