I am a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the Center for Cognitive and Decision Sciences at the University of Basel. I study how people think, decide, and understand the world—ranging from the way we connect ideas in memory to how we evaluate risks and safety in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

To do this, I use and develop tools from behavioral data science, network science, and natural language processing, working with everything from classic statistical methods to the latest large language models.
