Welcome

I am a cognitive neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. I combine neuroimaging and neuromodulation methods with graph theory, large language models (LLMs), and behavioral modeling to explore cognitive changes across the adult lifespan.

I am particularly interested in the age-related changes in the trajectories of memory processes and their interaction with executive functions. I am also a strong supporter of open and reproducible research practices and strive to implement them in my own work.

👥 Poster at the Dallas Aging and Cognition Conference 2025

I received a travel award from the Dallas Aging and Cognition Conference and was able to attend this really cool conference on neuro-cognitive changes across the lifespan. I also presented a poster on our work on the age-related modulation of language predictions.

📚 New article out in Human Brain Mapping

How do enhanced semantic integration demands modulate language-specific and domain general-neural networks? Our new article now out in HBM sheds some light on network interactions in the brain!
