My research interests are focused on:

• Monotonicity of dynamical systems
• Especially monotonicity of Chemical Reaction Networks
• Explicit optimal control under Uncertainties (Al'brekht`s Method)
• Explicit parametric optimal output feedback

In 2013 and 2015 I received a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mathematics from the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. Since 2016 I am working as a research assistant in Rolf Findeisen's Group for Systems Theory and Automatic Control at the Institute for Automation Engineering, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. I have joined the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Advanced Methods in Process and Systems Engineering Magdeburg in May 2016.
