Short Biography

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to New York in 2007. There I attended the German International School New York, earning a German Abitur as well as an American high-school diploma in 2018. By then I was fortunate to have had my first research experience at the New York Medical College, which motivated me to attend McGill, a research-oriented university. Here I earned a bachelor's degree in Physicsand four years of research experience in Medical Physics, working with Dr. Shirin Enger and her exceptional lab group. Now, I am pursuing a PhD in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics at Harvard-MIT's Health Science and Technology program.

Education

After moving from Germany to New York in 2007, I attended the German International School New York (GISNY), where I founded the German Eagles basketball team and served as the student body president. GISNY is where I first discovered my passion for Physics thanks to my mentor, and friend Clemens Panitz, an exceptional and passionate teacher. and competed in the German Young Physicist Tournament. I earned a German Abitur (1.0) as well as an American high-school degree (4.0 GPA).

My new found curiosity for Physics inspired me to pursue a Physics major at McGill University. In addition to my Physics major, I pursued a minor in Computer Science as the tools it taught me came in handy for both my major and my research.
