Hi! I’m broadly interested in how humans process language, with a focus on meaning-related aspects. To this end, I develop logical, computational and procedural models and test such models using experimental methods, including forced-choice and rating tasks, self-paced reading, eye-tracking and event-related potentials. I currently work as a postdoc in the Collaborative Research Center 1718: Common Ground (Project B1, Principal Investigators: Katrin Axel-Tober, Britta Stolterfoht) hosted at the University of Tübingen where I use psycholinguistic and computational methods to study how linguistic expressions are used to navigate and update mutually shared believes between conversation partners.

Previously, I worked as a postdoc in the psycholinguistics group of Britta Stolterfoht in German Linguistics at the University of Tübingen. Before that I worked at the Collaborative Research Center 833: The Construction of Meaning (Project B1, Principal Investigators: Wolfgang Sternefeld, Rolf Ulrich and Oliver Bott) hosted at the University of Tübingen where I obtained my PhD under the supervision of Fritz Hamm. I also did a short research fellowship at the Cognitive Semantics and Quantities project led by Jakub Szymanik at the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam and also visited the N∅thing is Logical project led by Maria Aloni there. As an undergraduate, I studied for one semester at the European Center for Chinese Studies at Beijing University.
