1999-2005   I studied physics at the University Friedrich Schiller Jena and at Umeå Universitet (Sweden).

Diploma thesis in Theoretical Physics (Quantum Field Theory): "Vakuumfluktuationen und nichtlineare Elektrodynamik".

since Oct. 2005   PhD student at the Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids associated with the International Max-Planck Research School "Dynamical Processes in Atoms, Molecules, and Solids"

This study focuses on the following topics:

•  Investigation of the relation of ED (real space) and spectroscopic properties (k-space) like de-Haas-van-Alphen frequencies or photoemission spectra:
• comparison of calculated ED with ED reconstructed from high resolution x-ray data
• comparison of density functional theory (DFT) calculations vs. Hartree Fock results
• comparison of calculations using full potential vs. spherically averaged potential
• Implementation of a module to the FPLO code for the calculation/description of NMR data
• Developement of a scheme for the improved treatment of spin fluctuations in itinerant magnets
