I am a Master’s student in Computational Neuroscience at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin. I also work as a research assistant in the Neural Data Science and Statistical Computing Group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, privileged to be working under the guidance of Nico Scherf alongside an amazing team.

I am interested in biological neural information processing, and I study how both biological and artificial neural networks process information. Broadly, my work sits within Computational Neuroscience, with particular interests in neuroconnectionism and NeuroAI. For a deeper look into my research interest, please check out my research interests page :)

During my Master’s, I have worked on several NeuroAI projects. My longest lab rotation focused on autoregressive audio models, supervised by brilliant Greta Tuckute, who is also supervising my Master’s thesis. In another lab rotation, I worked on brain-informed neural networks with super talented Anuja Negi and dear Fatma Deniz.

Before starting my master’s, I did a double major in Molecular Biology and Genetics/Software Engineering. During my undergraduate studies, I contributed to rare-disease gene-therapy projects at TRGENMER under Cihan Tastan, and completed a summer internship at UCL’s Centre for Medical Image Computing, developing multimodal predictive approaches for Alzheimer’s disease with Neil Oxtoby and Maetrei Kohli.

News

I recently finished my lab rotation with Greta Tuckute. I will be presenting our work during several lab visits, including at the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Lab led by Adrien Doerig, and the Neural Data Science and Statistical Computing Group at MPI CBS. A huge thanks to Greta for all her support. It was an amazing experience to work with her, and I am super duper excited that we will continue working together for my Master's thesis.

I started my second lab rotation with Greta Tuckute at the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University. During this rotation, I will be working on autoregressive language models.

I gave a presentation at the Denizens Lab (Cognitive Computing in Biological and Artificial Systems). A huge thank you to Anuja Negi and Fatma Deniz!

I started my first BCCN lab rotation with Anuja Negi and Fatma Deniz at the Technical University of Berlin. I will be working on brain-informed fine-tuning of language models.

I attended the Bernstein Conference. It was great to meet people from the computational neuroscience community!

I began my Master's degree in Computational Neuroscience at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin.
