I am part of the research data management (RDM) team at the Freie Universität Berlin (RMD FU) Our team supports researchers who want to systematically manage their research data, making their work more transparent, reproducible and reusable.
From January 2022 until June 2025, I was part of the research data management (RDM) team at the University of Potsdam (RMD UP) and the Brandenburg-wide RDM-project IN-FDM-BB ("Institiutionalised and sustainable research data management in Brandenburg", RMD Brandenburg). In the project IN-FDM-BB, RDM infrastructure was developed and implemented at all eight research-focused publicly-funded universities (of Applied Sciences) across the state of Brandenburg.
I am a psycholinguist particularly interested in the underlying mechanisms of human sentence processing. My research focuses on the crosslinguistic investigation of similarity-based retrieval interference during real-time sentence comprehension. To study this, I conduct experiments, predominantly using the eyetracking-while-reading method. In 2022, I completed my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Potsdam.
