I’m a doctoral candidate in neuroscience in the Auditory Computations Lab at Goethe University (Institute for Cell Biology & Neuroscience) and at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience in Frankfurt, Germany.
I’m interested in how the brains of humans and other animals process sounds and produce vocalizations. In my PhD, I use echolocating bats as a model organism to study how the mammalian brain supports flexible vocal production in complex and social environments. I use a combination of bioacoustic, behavioral, in vivo electrophysiology, and computational modelling techniques to do this.
Previously, I worked on auditory statistical learning in humans while I was a researcher in the Neuroscience Department at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics.
Prior to that, I completed my masters in the Cogmaster (PSL/ENS) in Paris, during which time I worked on time perception in humans as well as dabbled in formal logic and the philosophy of science.
I received my bachelors at New York University.
Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading, outdoor sports, tango dancing, and playing classical violin in amateur orchestras.
