Research Scientist in Psycholinguistics and Metascience
Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich

My research revolves around the cognitive mechanisms underlying reading development and the methodology used to identify subtypes of developmental dyslexia.

My goal is to translate cross-disciplinary knowledge for researchers, educators, pracitioners, and parents by connecting insights across fields.
