Attempto Award
I am truly honored to receive the 2024 Attempto Award which recognizes junior scientists for the exceptional research on the neural basics of brain performance and its disorders. For more details see the link above.
I am a Postdoc with Peter Dayan at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. I started my academic journey as a double-major bachelor student of physics and biomedical engineering and then moved to neuroscience for my master and PhD at the University of Tuebingen.
My research lies at the intersection of systems and computational neuroscience. I am generally interested in understanding how animals adaptively learn to modify their behavior according to environmental demands and its underlying biological machinery. For this purpose, I develop data analysis methods and computational models to link neural dynamics to brain computation and behavior.

Talk at INSPIRE Symposium
I was invited to give a talk at the 2024 INSPIRE Symposium, WashU, about our work on adaptive neural timescales during selective attention. It was super exciting to interact and learn from other INSPIRE speakers and the lively neuroscience community at WashU, highly recommend it!
Contributed talk at Cosyne 2024
I gave a contributed talk at Cosyne 2024 main meeting about our recent work on how different learning curricula give rise to distinct mechanisms for performing long-memory tasks. You can watch the recorded video from the link above.
