I am interested in the common principles of how abstract representations emerge in sensory processing. I studied human perception and cognition in the linguistic domain, in the context of attention to short-term memory, and bi-stable linguistic perception (RRI, Toronto). I have been studying the neuronal code for regularity and violations of expectation in the auditory cortex (UPENN), and the role of neural variability in cortical dynamics (PPKE). I’m currently pursuing a two-year postdoctoral fellowship under the European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, studying pattern processing in visual and auditory modalities, as well as the computational link of sensory processing principles to probabilistic coding.

I have a passion for facilitating events that increase public awareness and access to science and basic research at all ages (career fairs, public lectures, science demos).
