-Write your biography here. Tell the world about yourself. Link to your favorite [subreddit](http://reddit.com). You can put a picture in, too. The code is already in, just name your picture `prof_pic.jpg` and put it in the `img/` folder.
+I am a PhD candidate at Sebastian Pokutta's [IOL Lab](https://iol.zib.de) at the [Zuse Institute Berlin](https://www.zib.de) and lead of the IOL.Opt area focusing in first-order optimization. My research interests are Frank-Wolfe methods, mixed-integer convex optimization and optimal experiment design.
 
-Put your address / P.O. box / other info right below your picture. You can also disable any of these elements by editing `profile` property of the YAML header of your `_pages/about.md`. Edit `_bibliography/papers.bib` and Jekyll will render your [publications page](/al-folio/publications/) automatically.
+In my free time, I love to read both fiction (fantasy, crime, horror) and non-fiction (mathematics, psychology, history, biographies). I am part of a women's choir and like to try out new art supplies. 
 
-Link to your social media connections, too. This theme is set up to use [Font Awesome icons](https://fontawesome.com/) and [Academicons](https://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/), like the ones below. Add your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Scholar, or just disable all of them.
