Research

Research statement

My main interest is the teaching of mathematics at university and how technical solutions can improve learning. Currently I'm focusing on how to use the STACK question type in a higher education setting.

Current and former projects

I am part of the MELETE group, which aims to support learning with digital tools. All current and former work on STACK is summarized on our public STACK website.

• STACK question database for engineering analysis courses with Meike Akveld, Innovedum Project, ETH Zürich, 2022.
• Videos and Apps for service lectures in Analysis, Innovedum Project, ETH Zürich, 2018.

Doctoral thesis

I graduated from ETH with a doctorate in analytic number theory. Under the supervision of Emmanuel Kowalski I proved results in the realm of families of cusp forms and $L$-functions.
