About Me
I am a machine learning researcher with a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience, specializing in neural- network models that tackle complex problems at the intersection of AI and neuroscience. I received a bachelor's degree in computer science from University of Ulm before continuing my studies in cognitive science at University of Tübingen. I did my PhD in computational neuroscience at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience & the University College London.
