I joined the Mathematics Department at UAB in 1994, after completing my academic education in Germany, including a postdoc year at University of California at Los Angeles. At UAB I have taught classes mostly in the areas of analysis, linear algebra, and probability. Since 2005 I have served as Graduate Recruiting Coordinator and have successfully advised seven Ph.D. students.

Throughout my career I have been fascinated by the near miraculous fact that the laws of physics can be described by mathematical formulas. Accordingly, my research interests tend to alternate between physics, which provides me with motivation, and mathematics, which often provides the solutions after years of stubborn attempts and hard work.
