Since January 2024, I am an independent postdoctoral fellow at the Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry at New York University. Working with the Hocky lab, I study ionic colloidal crystals with molecular-dynamics simulations and enhanced-sampling techniques. Before my postdoctoral fellowship, I obtained my PhD in physics at the University of Bonn, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Monien. In a close collaboration with Prof. Krauth from the Ecole normale superieure de Paris, I developed a non-reversible and rejection-free Markov-chain Monte Carlo method for classical molecular simulations that is both exact and efficient.
