Theoretical physicist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and open to collaboration.
I work on quantum field theory in its less-tractable corners. I like hard problems and finding simple ways to think about them.

About
My research mostly focusses on instantons and other nonperturbative effects, semiclassical descriptions, and quantum tunneling. Along the way, almost any topic in high energy physics can catch my attention, especially the problems where careful thinking pays off. That curiosity doesn't stop at physics, though. I'm just as happy tinkering with new technologies, and learning across disciplines.
