About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair for Design Automation (CDA) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). My research interests include design automation for computational nanotechnologies, logic synthesis, physical design, algorithmics, and formal methods.

I work towards closing the design gap between Field-coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) circuits and classical CMOS technologies. As a promising class of post-CMOS devices, FCN technologies like Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) and Silicon Dangling Bonds (SiDBs) allow for ultra-high processing performance and, at the same time, tremendously low power dissipation. In recent years, particularly SiDBs have seen major breakthroughs in their fabrication capabilities.

For my experiments, proof-of-concept implementations, and as a basis for future research in the domain, I have developed the open-source fiction framework, which I maintain. It is now part of the Munich Nanotech Toolkit (MNT).

Furthermore, I have experience in Logic Synthesis and Physical Design, Quantum Computing, Reversible Logic, Digital Microfluidic Biochips, Optical Circuits, and DNA Computing.

In my free time, I work out and do martial arts, I travel the world and try to take decent looking digital photographs. I love excellent stories and science fact as well as science fiction.
