Welcome! I'm a physics PhD student from Vienna. My main focus is beyond the standard model physics, more specifically the search for dark matter, where my daily work consists of applying and developing new signal processing and statistical data analysis methods.
This webpage will (hopefully) grow over time but currently mainly serves as a collection of theses, publications, projects I worked on in the past and talks given at various occasions.
About me
Über mich
Present - PhD Student at HEPHY and TU Wien
Gegenwart - Doktoratsstudent am HEPHY and der TU Wien
Since January 2023, I am a member of the Vienna group of the COSINUS collaboration. Our aim is to cross check the dark matter discovery claims by DAMA/LIBRA using cryogenic detectors operated in the LNGS underground laboratory in Italy. My main area of responsibility consists of data analysis both for detector optimization and dark matter results, and the development of new analysis techniques and software.
2022 - Finished Master at TU Graz
2022 - Masterabschluss and der TU Graz
My Master's program focused on theoretical and computational physics, and I specialized in the area of particle physics. I mostly worked on topics covering quantum field theories within and beyond the standard model of particle physics (with an emphasize on non-perturbative techniques) and also general relativity (see projects).
For my Master's thesis I worked on an inherently gauge-invariant and non-perturbative description of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) which I subsequently managed to bring into agreement with perturbative results using the Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocci mechanism. This procedure has been shown to potentially alter the physical spectrum of theories beyond the Standard Model. It was therefore important to investigate what happens in the MSSM.
2020 - Finished Bachelor at TU Graz
2020 - Bachelorabschluss and der TU Graz
I started studying physics in Graz (Austria) in 2016. The program was a joint effort of the TU Graz and the University of Graz and I chose to specialize in technical physics. In my Bachelor's thesis I considered the Hartree-Fock approximation in molecular physics and how it can be improved by using perturbative re-summation techniques.
