About me
I am a 4th year PhD student working in structural graph theory under the supervision of Reinhard Diestel. My main research interests include tangles, decompositions of graphs, graph minors, connectivity and applications in cluster analysis.

- Menger's Theorem in bidirected graphs (with Nathan Bowler, Ebrahim Ghorbani, Florian Gut and Florian Reich), 2023, submitted. (arXiv)
- The induced two paths problem (with Sandra Albrechtsen, Tony Huynh, Paul Knappe and Paul Wollan), 2023, submitted. (arXiv)
- Efficiently distinguishing all tangles in locally finite graphs (with Paul Knappe), 2023, submitted. (arXiv)
