Originally from Michelstadt, Germany, the forests and nature of Princeton occasionally remind me of my old home, more so than any other place I have lived since I left Europe for the US after high school. When I'm not reading papers or writing code, you might find me gardening, at the gym, challenging friends to board game nights, or working on DIY home improvement projects. I'm excited to organize fun and supportive events that bring our graduate community together. Feel free to say hi if you see me around campus!
