About

I am a doctoral researcher in the Translational Social Neuroscience Lab at the Center of Mental Health at the University Hospital Würzburg, Germany.

In my PhD project, I am studying how social interactions modulate approach and avoidance learning. I am combining modified versions of reinforcement learning models with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural mechanisms of adaptive and maladaptive approach and avoidance behavior. I am member of the RTG2660: Approach-Avoidance that is funded by the German Research Foundation.

Apart from research, I am passionate about sustainability, food, and various other ways to increase physical and mental wellbeing.
