I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Law, Behaviour, and Cognition at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. I obtained my Ph.D. in Psychology from Georg-August-University Göttingen in 2022, with a project focusing on the role of causal representations in moral judgment (advisor: Michael R. Waldmann). My current research interests are causal reasoning, moral psychology, computational modelling, experimental philosophy and experimental jurisprudence. During my Ph.D., I have been teaching introductory statistics seminars, as well as supervising empirical Bachelor and Master projects in Cognitive Science.

I have been co-teaching introductory statistics since winter 2017, leading practical exercise and discussion sessions for first-year psychology students. The seminar “Quantitative Methods I” covers basics of research design and hypothesis testing, data visualisation, probability theory, descriptive and inferential data analysis, and power analyses. Practical exercises are held using MS Excel. “Quantitative Methods II” focuses on the General Linear Model and its various applications (multiple linear regression and its assumptions, ANOVA, contrast analyses, logistic regression, multilevel models). The practical exercises are conducted in R and RStudio.
In addition, I have supervised and co-supervised a number of empirical Bachelor and Master projects in the fields of causal and moral reasoning and experimental philosophy.
