I like to think about music in mathematical terms. In particular, I am interested in mathematical formalisations of harmonic relationships and in the algebraic and topological structures they encode. I also like to extend these concepts to historical tuning systems such as just intonation or meantone temperament.

Choir affiliations
As a classically trained chorister (baritone), I have been a member of several choirs and ensembles that focus on classical music, both spiritual and secular:
- since 2025
- Vox Bona
- 2023–2025
- Kammerchor der Christuskirche Karlsruhe, Capella Carlsruhe
- 2018–2022
- Vokalensemble des Collegium Musicum Bonn
- 2012–2016
- Concerto Vocale Tübingen
In addition to that, I regularly (approximately twice a year) organise and conduct choir projects at summer schools of the CdE, some of them joint with Charlotte Mertz, Maria Ravvina, and Florian Störtz.
