I am a cognitive scientist, mostly interested in cognitive/experimental psychology, psycholinguistics, statistics, computational modeling, research methods, and scientific programming. After having completed my Bachelor of Science (Psychology) at the University of Potsdam (supervised by Reinhold Kliegl) and my Master of Science (Psychology, Cognition and Brain Science) at the University of Victoria (supervised by Stephen Lindsay and Michael Masson), I am back at the University of Potsdam as a doctoral student since early 2018. In my current primary research project, I am employing dynamical computational modeling to explore the interaction of eye-movement control and sentence processing in reading (CRC 1287 B03, supervised by Ralf Engbert and Shravan Vasishth).
