About Me

Hello! I am a first-year Neuroscience PhD student at The University of Texas at Austin, supervised by Robbe Goris. I am interested in how the visual system processes sensory inputs and turns them into predictions about the environment. In addition, I aim to understand what makes the visual system robust to environmental perturbations and how these principles can inform the design of more adversarially robust neural networks.

Before I joined the PhD program, I completed my master’s in Computational Neuroscience at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin, where I worked with Stefan Haufe and Arnaud Delorme on computational methods for analyzing linear and nonlinear functional connectivity in EEG time series. Before that, I completed my bachelor’s in Computer Science & Economics at the Berlin School of Economics and Law, where I worked at Berliner Wasserbetriebe as part of their dual studies program.
