From September 2024 I am Associate Professor at TU Delft, part of the NAS group, in Delft, Netherlands.

I like to approach research by addressing application-oriented problems involving domain experts from different disciplines via developing models and algorithms derived from statistical physics, probabilistic models and optimal transport principles.
