Biography

I am a Cognitive Science master’s student in Germany focusing on scientific machine learning for dynamical system modelling. My research experience spans NeuroAI in the Kietzmann Lab during my bachelor’s studies and, more recently, machine learning for climate modelling at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research.

My academic interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and system theory. I am fascinated by how AI can both draw inspiration from the brain and contribute to understanding it, while also being applied to complex real-world challenges such as climate systems.

In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors and engaging in a bit of type-2 fun after a full day of type-3 fun spent debugging my code.

East Africa Bike Trip
Overview After completing my thesis in May 2024, a friend and I completed a 2 month bike packing trip through Malawi, Tanzania and into Kenya. We wanted to experience travel in the most honest method possible.
