Research interests

I am interested in how globally coordinated computation can emerge from simple components. My source of inspiration is mostly from the interaction of neurons in the/my brain. From January 2018 onwards I will be working in the group of Prof. Benjamin Grewe at INI. If you are a student and you want to do data analysis or a modeling project please get in touch with me.
