I am a final-year PhD student in computational neuroscience supervised by Prof. Henning Sprekeler, funded by TU Berlin and ECN Berlin. My PhD work focuses on the functions and evolution of cell types, in particular inhibitory interneurons. In this work, I use deep network models to find interneuron properties that can emerge from functional pressures, and I test these models by analyzing neural and genomic data.

Besides doing research, I co-organized the WWNeuRise seminar for early career researchers and a conference workshop. I also teach at BCCN Berlin’s Master’s Program in Computational Neuroscience. In the summer of 2023, I worked as a biostatistics intern at Novartis. Outside of the lab, I’m a voracious reader and a less-than-voracious runner.
