My master's thesis "Wasserstein gradient flows with an eye towards positive matrix measures" (2023) is about sparse convex optimisation in spaces of measures and my bachelor's thesis is entitled "Atomic Norm Minimization for Superresolution" (2021).
When I am not doing maths, you can find me visiting the opera or the concert hall or playing badminton and table tennis.
News
- Two new preprints about Wasserstein gradient flows of the MMD functional with the negative distance kernel in one dimension (see below).
- I visited Wuchen Li at the University of South Carolina from mid August to mid September.

Expository Talks
- "Zoom and enhance" geht wirklich - mit Atomic Norm Minimization A talk (in German) about my bachelor's thesis entitled "Atomic Norm Minimisation for Superresolution". Won one of the the "Best Talk (Bachelor)"-Prizes at the 17. Dies Mathematicus, 25.11.2022 at TU Berlin. [Slides] [Video] [MATLAB code for creating the figures in the talk]
- 3 minute talk about the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (Seminar Optimal Transport, Prof. Gabriele Steidl, summer semester 2021).
- Adversarial Regularisation in Inverse Problems (about a NeurIPS-2018 paper by Sebastian Lunz et al. by the same name in the seminar "Neural Networks for Inverse Problems" with Prof. Gabriele Steidl, winter semester 2021/2022).
- Compactly supported shearlets are optimally sparse (about a paper by Gitta Kutyniok and Wang-Q. Lim in J. Approx. Theory by the same name, Seminar Applied Functional Analysis, Prof. Kutyniok, summer semester 2019).
- Atomic Norm Minimisation for Superresolution (the topic of my bachelor's thesis, Seminar Optimal Transport, Prof. Gabriele Steidl, summer semester 2021).
Teaching at Technische Universität Berlin
- Winter semester 2024 / 2025: Harmonic Analysis (lecturer: Dr. Oleh Melnyk) and Analysis II (lecturer: Prof. Gabriele Steidl)
- Summer semester 2024: Convex Analysis (lecturer: Dr. Oleh Melnyk)
- From January to March 2024, I was an assistant for the Course "Numerische Mathematik I" (Numerical Mathematics I).
- I tutored the courses Linear Algebra for Engineers (in German, winter semester 2019/2020, Prof. Reinhard Nabben), Functional Analysis I (summer semester 2020, Prof. Dr. Nicole Mücke) and Differential equations I (in German, winter semester 2020/2021, Dr. Hans-Christian Kreusler).
During the school year 2022/23 I was a tutor at the Mathematische Schülergesellschaft "Leonhard Euler", where I, on a weekly basis, went through stimulating maths puzzles with interested seventh-graders.
Unofficial lecture notes & flashcards
Below you can find some lecture notes I wrote for courses I attended at TU Berlin in descending order by quality. I am satisfied with the top eight, read the rest at your own risk. If you find any errors or are perhaps an instructor discontented with the material shared here, please contact me at lastname at math.tu-berlin.de.
To help me study for the exams, I have created texed flashcards: [Approximation theory], [Functional Analysis II],
[Topology I]. Beware that they might be incomplete and will probably contain errors.
You can contact me at the above email adress if you want the corresponding .tex files.
