Research Pigeon

I completed my PhD in the Biopsychology Department at Ruhr University Bochum, where I conducted behavioral experiments while exploring advanced analytical methods and the field of data science. My research reflects a commitment to both experimental and computational approaches in understanding behavior. You can explore my publications below to learn more about my academic journey.
