Mathematical interests

• finite groups
• characters and representations
• block theory
• permutation groups
• fusion systems
• finite-dimensional algebras
• cryptography

A short outline of my interests is given in a 5-minute talk at the MSRI Berkeley. A more detailed overview is contained in a talk at the TU Munich. I wrote a number of expository papers, which indicate my favorite subjects:

• Pseudo Sylow numbers and pseudo Frobenius numbers
• Inverse problem for automorphism groups
• Orders of permutation groups
• Formal power series
• Fusion theorems in finite groups
• Complements in finite groups

Personal interests

• running (previously: basketball, skateboarding, juggling, gymnastics, climbing, slacklining)
• piano (playing and recording, e.g. Rachmaninoff Prelude op. 3-2, previously composing, e.g. Etude)
• water color painting (e.g. mushrooms)
• nature (photography, minimal CO₂ footprint)
• arch linux, LaTeX, python and other cs nerd stuff (e.g. building this page)
• psychology
• creative writing
• sugarfree sustainable food

My personal bests in running are:

• 1.000m in 2:58min
• 3.000m in 9:53min
• 5.000m in 16:58min
• 10.000m in 35:22min

(all with spikes on track).
