Lindner's research focuses on Roman provincial archaeology, with particular expertise in the Germanic Limes, Roman military installations, archaeological methodology, and Roman urban development. His work integrates field archaeology with historical analysis to understand Roman frontier dynamics and settlement patterns in Germania Inferior.

His publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on Roman military architecture and frontier studies. Recent work centers on the legionary camp at Bonn (2025), while earlier research examined the Wetterau Limes (2018, 2019) and Roman Trier (2018). His monograph on Hanau-Mittelbuchen fortlets represents a significant contribution to understanding frontier development during the Domitianic-Trajanic period.

Lindner's academic journey includes doctoral studies at LMU Munich on urban development in Roman Trier, a Master's degree from the University of Cologne specializing in Roman provincial archaeology, and undergraduate studies in Ancient Languages and Cultures. His current research continues to advance our understanding of Roman military presence along the Lower Germanic Limes through systematic analysis of archaeological evidence and historical context.
