I am a PhD candidate at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, where I am part of the Stochastic Operations Research group. My research focuses on spatially interacting Markov processes. In particular, I develop methods to control these processes and steer them toward desirable behavior, combining ideas from Markov decision theory, interacting particle systems, and statistical mechanics.
Beyond my academic work, I am also deeply engaged in music. Alongside my PhD, I study violin at the part-time classical music institute Academia Musica, where I receive lessons from Robert Windak. In addition, I perform regularly as a member of the pop band FIERE and as part of The Unplugged Experience.
