Education :

• since 2018 PhD student at the University of Salzburg ( DK ‘Imaging the Mind’)
• 2012-2017 Psychology studies (Bachelor & Master) at the University of Salzburg

Research:

I investigate which processes occur in our brain during decision making, and how psychiatric disorders affect observable decision making behavior as well as underlying brain processes. For this purpose, I use brain imaging techniques (fMRI) and new methods to study behavioral data like computational modelling.
