Bio

I am a Cognitive Science Master student at the University of Tübingen, where I also obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science. After studying the social transmission of model-based representations without inference during a lab rotation at the Human and Machine Cognition Lab, I am currently continuing this work in my Master’s thesis.

Alongside my studies, I have worked as a research assistant at the Computational Principles of Intelligence Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, where I investigated human exploration behavior, as well as at the Cognitive Modeling Lab at the University of Tübingen, where I contributed to research on the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC).

My research interests lie at the intersection of human and machine cognition, particularly in intelligence. I am interested in how principles of human intelligence can inform the development of AI systems and how computational models, in turn, can deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying human cognition.
