Before my postdoc with Alex Cayco-Gajic, I was a postdoc with Gilles Laurent at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt. I did my Ph.D. with Julijana Gjorgjieva at the Technical University of Munich. My BSc and MSc were in computer science and I have experience as a professional software engineer.

During my PhD and first postdoc, I studied reptile brains, from cortical dynamics in turtles to multi-area coordination during lizard sleep, to extract general principles of brain function from an evolutionary perspective. My current postdoc explores how multi-area dynamics evolve during motor learning. I develop computational analysis techniques and models that are heavily grounded on data. I’m driven by the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience.
