About Me

I am a master’s student in psychology at Saarland University. Alongside my studies I work as a junior researcher in the research department Neuro-mechanistic Modeling at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), where my work combines administrative responsibilities with occasional involvement in empirical research.

What I find most exciting is the interdisciplinary connection between psychology and computer science. Working at DFKI has given me a glimpse into how psychological insights and technological innovation can complement each other in research and practice.
