Welcome to my page!

As a physicist specializing in nuclear safety, my research focuses on data analysis, modeling, predictive simulations, and experimental validation. I design and conduct experimental studies to address and close existing data gaps, enhancing the accuracy of nuclear safety models. My interests include advanced data analysis techniques, as well as uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. Much of my work centers on modeling the behavior of materials and nuclear fuel, with a strong emphasis on dry storage solutions. For more details, please visit here.

I currently lead a research group at BGZ, the German national company for nuclear waste interim storage, located at the TUM Campus in Garching, Germany. Before joining BGZ, I worked in R&D at the Gesellschaft für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) in Germany. My academic background includes a Ph.D. in astroparticle physics from the University of Bielefeld, complemented by a research fellowship at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, USA, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Bielefeld.

Beyond research, I contribute to multiple national and international projects and regularly deliver lectures on nuclear safety, waste management, and mathematical methods in nuclear safety. Materials from previous lectures are available here (password protected).
