I conducted my PhD research project at the Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids and obtained a Dr. rer. nat. from the Technical University Dresden, Germany with distinction in 2009. Here, I performed high-resolution Hall effect measurements in crossed magnetic fields and established a Fermi surface reconstrution in the prototypical quantum critical material YbRh2Si2. 

From 2010 to 2013 I worked as a research fellow at the University of Cambridge first on a Feodor-Lynen fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation and later on a Marie Curie fellowship of the European Research Council. My research focused on electronic structure studies using quantum oscillation measurements in combination with band structure calculations. In addition, I pioneered new pressure techniques which I utilized to perform Fermi surface studies under pressure.

In 2013, I joined the University of Bristol as a Lecturer and have since been promoted to Associate Professor. My group's work focuses on high-pressure studies of high-temperature sueprcondcutors including cuprate, hydride, and iron-pnictide superconductors as well as exotic magnetic and charge-ordered materials.
