Crossing the bridge between clinical work and research

I am a Clinician Scientist funded by the MINT Clinician Scientist Program at the University Hospital Tübingen. My research interests lie at the intersection of systems neuroscience, epilepsy and medical AI. I have a multi-disciplinary academic background with degrees in medicine, psychology and systems neuroscience. During my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen I studied neural mechanisms underlying vision and memory using extracellular recordings of single unit activity and local field potentials. I continue to work on similar topics using cellular recordings from human epilepsy patients. A strong focus of my work is to apply AI methods to better understand neural mechanisms of physiological and pathological brain activity and support clinical decision making with a specific focus on epilepsy. I have built an interdisciplinary team of young researchers - check out our website!
