- Implementation of the actuarial requirements of Life Insurance companies including complex testing and debugging (C/C++ and Java). - Conducting a proof of concept in an international team where I participated in the crucial steps from gathering requirements to implementation. - Software development for data migration of Life Insurance contracts (Python).
Prepared my transition from academia to industry (Software) by learning fundamentals of Computer Science, taking online courses and working on personal Software projects
In this role, I conducted research in Mathematical Physics which led to several publications in internationally renowned journals and presented these works at highly regarded institute like Harvard and UPenn. The interplay between Mathematics and Physics has a long history. For example, Einstein's special and general relativity led to the development of Riemannian geometry in Mathematics. In a nutshell, the latter is the Mathematics of our four-dimensional spacetime that we inhabit. Conversely, developments in Mathematics made physical theories rigorous. This means that we can prove statements about physical theories. This is very powerful because we can check computations or help to develop the theories further. In the research with my colleagues, I had two main branches. On the first one, we worked on mathematical and geometric structures underlying so-called Quantum Field theories. The latter aim at unifying Quantum mechanics (which describes elementary particles like electrons) and special relativity. But these theories are not yet fully mathematically rigorous and so it is important to study the mathematical structures to gain new insights. Secondly, we took inspiration from (mathematical) Physics to construct "tools" for pure Mathematics. Without going into details, these tools are helpful to construct new examples of geometric objects (so-called Hyperkähler manifolds). This is desirable because it is a hard problem to do so and examples are crucial for the research in this area. Besides my research I was always happy to share my knowledge in seminars and mentoring students.
