About Me

Fully dedicated to neuroscience, my research explores how cognitive resources are allocated during the interaction of emotional and cognitive processes, using M/EEG, fNIRS, and eye-tracking.
My mantra? Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. (Zora Hurston)

My four defining Bs:

  • Brains 🧠 (science enthusiast)

And beyond academics:

  • Ballet 🩰 (both admirer and performer)
  • Books 📚 (devoted fantasy aficionado)
  • Berge 🏔️ (German for mountains: trail runner | high-altitude mountaineer)

📚 My Research

I am interested in new approaches in signal processing as well as encoding and decoding approaches to better understand how our brain processes emotional stimuli during ongoing cognitive tasks not only in laboratory settings but also in our everyday life.
