Three months in Cape Town: Clinical Neuroscience & AI
Published:
Between October and December, I had the privilege of spending three months in Cape Town as part of the DFG I2I initiative, a German-African research collaboration, working on the project “Supporting the Diagnosis of Epilepsy Using Artificial Intelligence.” I conducted this project at the Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cape Town and Groote Schuur Hospital.
Deep Learning Indaba 2025 in Kigali, Rwanda
Published:
During the week of August 17–22, 2025, I attended the Deep Learning Indaba in Kigali, Rwanda. I was invited as a keynote speaker and panelist at the NeuroAI workshop, where I presented my latest research on contrastive learning for neural time series data.
Science Slam – AI Edition: Tübingen Talks Tech
Published:
On June 5th, 2025, I had the pleasure of presenting at the Science Slam - AI Edition as part of Tübingen Talks Tech. Doctoral candidates and postdocs from the University of Tübingen shared their research in entertaining 10-minute talks for a general audience.
AREADNE 2024: Research in Encoding and Decoding of Neural Ensembles
Published:
In late June 2024, I had the pleasure of attending the “Research in Encoding And Decoding of Neural Ensembles” (AREADNE) conference, held on the Greek island of Milos.
Teaching Statistics in Gabon, Africa
Published:
In February 2024, I had the opportunity to teach statistics at the Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné (CERMEL) in Gabon, Africa. This course is part of a Master’s program in “Infection Biology and Control” in collaboration with the University of Tübingen. The program aims to equip students from West and Central Africa with the skills needed to address infectious disease challenges in sub-Saharan Africa.
New “I am Scientist” Podcast Episode: Mental Health of PhD Students
Published:
As PhD students we often get asked, “Hey, how is your thesis going?” This question can often create a lot of pressure even if it is well-intended. I had the great pleasure to discuss this topic with two of the authors of a paper published in 2023 about the mental health of PhD students.
