I'm a junior group leader at FU Berlin.
My research focuses on the development of computational methods for efficient
modeling of the electronic structure of molecules and materials. The goal is to
enable straightforward multi-scale simulations of complex electronic environments,
which I am pursuing through tight integration of machine learning into
first-principles approaches.
