I completed my undergraduate studies at Jacobs University. After working as a backend software engineer for Skype in Prague, Czech Republic, I returned to university to pursue a master's degree and now a PhD at FAU, following the KWARC research group's relocation to South Germany.

My research interest is in the area of math linguistics, i.e. processing and understanding the language of mathematical/technical documents. Mathematical language differs from natural language in several ways (formulas, introducing new words on the go, high precision, etc.), making it a very fascinating topic.
