Research Data Management

I am 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). Our team supports researchers who want to systematically manage their research data, making their work more transparent, reproducible and reusable. In our project IN-FDM-BB, we develop and implement a sustainable RDM-infrastructure at all eight research-focused publicly-funded universities (of Applied Sciences) across the state of Brandenburg by providing RDM-tools and services.

Psycholinguistics

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 (advisors: Prof. Dr. Shravan Vasishth, Prof. Dr. Ralf Engbert). For publications and teaching experience, see below.
