Hi, I’m Maxi. I’m a PhD student under supervision of Deepak Garg. Before joining MPI-SWS, I had been a Bachelor student at Saarland University.
I’m interested in formal logic, theory of programming languages, and security. I also enjoy proving theorems in the interactive proof assistant Coq.

I wrote my Master’s thesis under supervision of Deepak Garg.
Before joining MPI, I joined Saarland University to study computer science. I wrote my Bachelor’s thesis at the lab lead by Prof. Smolka.
I have several hobbies:
Cross country mountain-biking:
I like simplicity and efficiency. This applies to this web site but also to biking. I like mountain biking because I love forests and mountains and because I dislike cities and roads. Moreover, I don’t care about competitions; I occasionally compete against myself, since only I myself am my “fairest” opponent. Thus, I don’t see any reasons buying these super-expensive racing bikes. Instead, hard-tail cross-country bikes are my favourite kinds of bikes. I also ride on technical trails occasionally. I prefer to do exercise on my own.
Cooking:
I’m vegan and enjoy cooking my own plant-based food; “my own” here implies that I don’t care about “authenticity”. Even though I only have a small kitchen, I do like to experiment occasionally. I especially like whole grain spelt bread and self-made pizza without cheese. Sustainability and health is more important to me than taste.
