I work on metacognition in general, and in motor metacognition in particular. I am interested in how we can best measure the brain’s ability to monitor and control itself. In the case of motor metacognition, I also wonder how this ability interacts with our ability to learn a new motor skill. I use mostly behavioural methods, but also sometimes use neuroimaging (EEG/MRI).
On an independent line, I am also excited about the possibilities of collecting data online.

I’m a cognitive (experimental) psychologist with passion for methodology and statistics. My past research was concerned with how individuals learn to protect themselves from danger. To this end, I pursued the idea that individuals estimate the risk of harm using a ‘cognitive map’ of their environment built from multiple separate learning episodes acquired in safety on the one hand, and minimal aversive experience on the other.
At the Hector Research Institute for Education Sciences and Psychology I work as a postdoctoral researcher and continue studying fundamental aspects of memory but in a naturalistic setting with the aim to better elucidate on how we learn and remember.

I am a post-doc at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology. In my research, I investigate the development of dispositional interests over the course of adolescence. Besides mechanisms that can facilitate long-term change processes in interests, I am also examining statistical methods for modelling longitudinal data and their ability to account for unobserved confounders when estimating causal effects.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Hector Research Institute for Education Science and Psychology at the University of Tübingen working in the field of developmental neuroscience with a focus on intellectually gifted children. My interest lies in how the spatial organization of the cerebral cortex subserves learning and cognition in the human brain. To this end, I pursue questions about the developmental mechanisms by which the spatial arrangement of functions may emerge in the cerebral cortex, and its ramifications for cognitive abilities.

I am a post-doc at the Hector Institute of Educational Sciences and Psychology. I am working towards an algorithmic- and computational-level understanding of various aspects of human exploration, including the emergence of situational curiosity as motivation for information-seeking, emergence of interest and curiosity traits, generation, selection, and pursuit of goals. My hope is to develop knowledge that can be useful in educational contexts. I rely on theory-driven statistical/cognitive modeling to explain data collected in behavioral experiments.
