I am a Max Planck Research Group Leader, leading the Physics for Inference and Optimization group, and a Faculty Member at the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems. My group is part of the Cyber Valley Initiative.

I am interested in understanding, optimizing and predicting relations between the microscopic and macroscopic properties of complex large-scale interacting systems. I like to approach research by addressing application-oriented problems involving domain experts from different disciplines via developing models and algorithms derived from statistical physics principles.

Inquires about Master degree thesis or internship are always welcomed. Please include your CV, motivation letter with research interests, and BSc/MSc transcripts.
