My main research interest are in infinitary combinatorics, forcing, definability, as well as the study of the generalized Baire spaces. Prior to my current position at the Goedel Research Center and University of Vienna , I was a FWF-Lise-Meitner Project Leader (M1365-N13) . In June 2017 I was awarded the FWF START Prize which is the highest Austrian award for young researchers (FWF Project Y1012-N35 ). Since January 2018, I am a board member of the European Set Theory Society. In July 2018, I won the Förderungspreis der Österreichischen Mathematischen Gesellschaft. . It will be awarded at the "Day of Mathematics" on November 9th at the Faculty of Mathematics of University of Vienna.
