Research Interests

I am a PhD student working on genome-scale metabolic models of various organisms using constraint-based optimization approaches. I am particularly interested in the effects of temperature on plant metabolism with respect to enzyme kinetics, protein stability, and photosynthesis.

Education

University of Potsdam, M. Sc. Bioinformatics, 2020

University of Potsdam, B. Sc. Molecular Biology, 2016

Teaching

I have experience in conducting exercise and seminar sessions in statistics and constraint-based modelling for graduate students.
