I am a Cognitive Neuroscientist, working at the Medical School Hamburg, and affiliated with the Vienna Cognitive Science Hub and the Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Unit. Interested in Canine Social Cognition and Comparative Neuroscience.

Currently, I am working on canine cognition, in particular, using fMRI to understand the origins of social cognition in the dog brain. Using comparative neuroscience and behavior research as a tool, an overarching goal of my work is understanding brain evolution.

My other research projects include: understanding non-conspecific perception, empathy for animals, as well as investigating interactions with other non-human agents (AI).
