Vision

I am dedicated to becoming a researcher at the intersection of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Psychology and Neuroscience. I want to understand the workings of the human mind and eventually use that knowledge to create technologies that improve our living conditions.

I am deeply passionate about discovering and implementing the algorithms behind perception, cognition and behaviour.

Being in the middle of forming the foundation of my future scientific career, I am learning about new topics and absorbing all advice, experiences and lessons I can.

Full of ideas, ambitious plans and a probably hopelessly overly idealistic worldview, I am trying to reach for the stars. Let’s see what the future holds.

Fun ‘facts’

• People tell me I look shorter on Zoom than in Real Life.
• Yes, I started growing my hair before Corona.
• No, I still have not found the right hair routine.
• I was (second degree) uncle before I was born.
• Because I grew up bilingually, I sometimes confuse numbers in the range of 60-99: in German you say the last position first. In Spanish it is the other way around (It is interesting that I only noticed the phenomenon for numbers >60).
• I seem to be bad at deciphering what people say, even though my hearing itself is good (according to some doctor in Berlin…).
• The best Hot Chocolate place in Berlin.
• Yes, I like the US.
• Put on 80/90/00s music and I dance, dance, dance.
• My metabolism does not abide by the laws of the universe, if I eat a piece of cake I gain double of it’s weight the next day.
• Luckily, I lose weight as fast as I gain it.
• Yes, my phenotype is the analog of mixing coffee with milk.
• I am bad with names AND faces, but I am not prosopagnosic.
