I am a PhD student in Cognitive Neuroscience jointly enrolled in the doctoral program in Psychology at the University of Zurich and the International PhD Program in Neuroscience at the Center for Neuroscience Zurich (ZNZ). My dissertation, «EEG Signatures of Oculomotor Control», investigates how neural oscillations — in particular alpha and gamma rhythms — relate to eye movements and attentional processes.
My research centres on the framework of OculoCortical Coherence (OCC), the idea that brain rhythms relate to cognition through oculomotor action. I develop automated signal processing pipelines for large-scale EEG and eye-tracking datasets, build statistical models, and use open-science workflows to support transparent and reproducible analysis.
Beyond research, I assist the co-directors of the Competence Center for Language & Medicine Zurich as Managing Director. Additionally, I am an elected student representative, hold a position in the steering committee of the neuroscience peer mentoring group Brainfood and contribute to the psychology student magazine aware.
Outside the lab, my favorite pastimes include mountain sports (hiking, skiing, via ferrata), endurance running, and strength training, alongside a general interest in technology, geopolitics, and history.
