I am a Ph. D. candidate in computer science at Harvard University, advised by Hanspeter Pfister. I am broadly interested in data visualization and applied machine learning, especially with applications in computational neuroscience. Specifically, my research focuses on building scalable interactive visual analysis tools and representation learning approaches to analyze the hidden architecture of the brain. Currently, I am working with Srini Turaga at HHMI Janelia as a visiting researcher.

I hold a M. Sc. in visual computing from TU Wien, Austria and a B. Sc. (with Honors) in medical informatics from the same university. I was born and raised in the beautiful town of Regensburg in Germany. On the side, I am a member of beetsbook.club.
