About

I am a cognitive and experimental psychologist at Universität der Bundeswehr München, and, from October 2026, Lead Analyst for Commercial Analytics & Decision Intelligence at meistro Energie GmbH. My research has been on multitasking: attention, visual search and triple-task performance. My dissertation, Exploring triple tasks: A deeper dive into multitasking dynamics, asked what it costs to coordinate three tasks at the same time.

How I work

Three things run through all of the work above.

• Quantitative analysis

  Python, R and MATLAB on real measurement data. Statistical modelling, Bayesian methods, and the cleaning and wrangling that has to happen before any claim can be tested.

• Study and measurement design

  Building a setup that can answer the question it was built for, from instrumentation through to the analysis plan, and working out beforehand which outcomes would tell me nothing.

• Technical lead on funded work

  Co-PI on the BAAINBw project listed above. I ran the technical side, from the flight simulator, eye tracking and physiological measurement through to the analysis the funder had asked for.
