About me

I'm a machine-learning researcher working mostly on brain signals. I try to keep my analyses honest, especially when the data is small.

I'm a computational researcher based in Dresden. As a research assistant at TU Dresden, I build graph neural networks that help classify ADHD from EEG. My master's thesis, done at DZNE, looked at stress and resilience in brain recordings from high-density microelectrode arrays.

Before research, I worked in industry for a few years — fraud detection, credit risk, and fintech — which taught me a lot about making models that work on real data.

In my spare time I run a small Linux server at home and automate small things around it.
