Main Focus
General:
I am in my 2nd year of my Bachelor degree in computing science with a cognitive science minor at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen. Currently I am working as a undergraduate research assistant in the applied "Cognitive Engineering" group in the department for Biological Cybernetics of Prof. Dr. Heinrich H. Bülthoff under the supervision of Dr. Stephan de la Rosa. I am very grateful to have already had one great year with enriching experiences, a broad range of learning opportunities and to feel the constant growth of responsibility and trust towards me within my worklife at the Institute and hope for many more to come.
Interests of Research:
As I am still exploring various fields in my undergraduate studies, I find the junction in between biological neuroscience and cognitive science especially interesting. Therefore I started working at the research group "Multisensory Perception & Action" of Dr. Marc Ernst in October 2010 under the supervision of Dr. Marieke Rohde. Within the group I mainly worked with projects researching the adaptation to sensory delays and perceived simultaneity. As the group unfortunately moved to Bielefeld in February 2011 I newly started working in the applied cognitive engineering group. Here my work has mainly involved testing several experiments within the field of human perception and cognition as well as programming. Currently I am working on a 3D motion capture database.
