I am a Senior Scientist at the Department of Psychology at the Universtity of Münster (Germany).
My main focus of interest is the investigation of human memory, using various research tools and research perspectives.
I received my PhD degree at the University of Lübeck (Germany), and after postdoctoral stations in Geneva (Switzerland) and Bangor (UK), I returned to Germany, where I am now involved in Project P9 of the Research Unit FOR2812. In this project, we focus on the social aspects that influence human episodic memory, and specifically investigate the mechanisms by which episodic memory can be biased in the service of shared reality creation between individuals.

Biased memory retrieval in the service of shared reality with an audience: The role of cognitive accessibility.
The research unit FOR 2812 "Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in episodic memory" is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The research unit studies the cognitive and neuronal mechanisms underlying scenario construction in episodic memory. We employ and integrate approaches from Philosophy, Psychology, and Experimental and Computational Neuroscience.
