Kurzinfo
After my bachelor's degree in biology, I completed my master's degree in molecular neuroscience and joined the AE Educational Neuroscience at Philipps-Universität Marburg as a PhD student in November 2022. In my work, I mainly focus on the developmental visual development of babies and young children, focusing exclusively on white matter. Having an idea of the normal brain development of a child helps to get early information about diseases and abnormalities in the future.
