Scientific Advisor at Mentalab.
I am a scientific advisor at Mentalab, Munich, Germany. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in psycholinguistics in the special research group Information density and linguistic encoding at the Department of Language Science and Technology, Saarland University, Germany. I researched human language comprehension in the neural and behavioural domain using experimental and computational methods. My dissertation project was supervised by Matthew Crocker and Harm Brouwer.
