About Me

I am working on the algebraic study of differential equations in characteristic zero as well as in positive characteristic. In particular, I am interested in work regarding the algebraicity of solutions of differential equations, (differential) Galois groups, the Tannakian formalism, hypergeometric functions, work related to the Grothendieck \(p\)-curvature conjecture, and effective aspects thereof. Moreover, I have a strong interest in combinatorics.

I started my PhD studies in October 2022. Before, I also obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree at the University of Vienna; my studies lasted from 2017-2020, and from 2020-2022, respectively.
