I completed my undergraduate Diploma in physics at the University of Hamburg, and my PhD in particle physics at the University of Bristol. The topic of my PhD thesis was top quark pair production at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
My current research focuses on software and computing infrastructure development to face the data challenges of current and future experiments. I am part of the CMS and LUX-ZEPLIN collaborations, an analysis systems convener of the UK SWIFT-HEP project, and one of the founding members of FAST-HEP.
