Biography

I completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at TU Dortmund University, graduating with honors in 2020. Throughout my studies, I gained valuable experience working as a research and teaching assistant.

Currently, I am a PhD student at the University of Vienna, focusing on efficient graph learning. My research mostly centers around similarity measures for graphs, with the aim of improving both efficiency and accuracy. I am particularly passionate about anything related to graphs – my favorite one is the Petersen graph.
