I started my PhD at the University of Regensburg in 2024. My research centres around the neural bases of visual representations. I am specifically interested in how visual processing develops over the first year of life and which external factors may influence this. Focusing predominantly on EEG data, I am particularly interested in understanding the underlying neurocognitive processes.
