I have studied Physics at the Technische Universität Dresden (Germany). During both my diploma thesis and my postgraduate work, I have been a member of the Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics Chair at the Institue of Theoretical Physics. My supervisor was Frank Grossmann, with whom I still collaborate closely.

I have been collaborating with Prof. Michele Ceotto for a few years now and have joined his group at Università di Milano in July 2017.

Main research interests

  • Development of new semiclassical approaches for the calculation of vibrational spectra.
  • In particular, mixed semiclassical descriptions for molecular systems coupled to a bath.
  • General properties of semiclassical propagators.
