PhD in Mathematics from the University of Zurich, defended at age 21. Currently working in quantitative finance as a quantitative researcher.
My research spans partial differential equations, fluid mechanics, probability theory, and machine learning.
Born in Zurich in 2003, I showed an early affinity for mathematics. At nine, I passed the Swiss Matura exam in mathematics with top marks. By fifteen I had completed my high school diploma, and I enrolled as a regular student at the University of Zurich.
I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mathematics at UZH before joining the Zürich Graduate School in Mathematics as Switzerland's youngest doctoral student. In June 2025, I defended my PhD thesis at the age of 21 under the supervision of Prof. Ashkan Nikeghbali, with co-advisors Fields Medallists Prof. Artur Avila and Prof. Alessio Figalli.
After completing my doctorate, I joined Jane Street in London as a quantitative trading intern before moving to Qube Research & Technologies as a quantitative researcher. In 2023, I was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list for Switzerland.
Several documentaries and numerous articles have been produced about my mathematical journey, including features by Swiss national television, an award-winning cinema documentary, and coverage in outlets such as FAZ, NZZ, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde.
