I’m a NeuroAI researcher, aiming to understand how intelligence emerges and evolves through time across brains and machines.
🧠 Current Position
- PhD Candidate — Machine Learning & Cognitive Neuroscience, Freie Universität Berlin
Member of Neural Dynamics of Visual Cognition Group (Berlin) & Kietzmann Lab (Osnabrück).
Co‑supervised by Prof. Radoslaw M. Cichy and Prof. Tim Kietzmann.
🔬 Research Interests
- Computational and normative modeling of visual processing
- Developmental learning and visual experience
- Embodied intelligence & multisensory integration
- Brain‑inspired AI & neurocomputational modeling
- Toward Artificial Evolutional Intelligence (AEI)
