I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Learning and Transfer Lab in the department of Psychology. I am interested in designing interventions, specifically video games, to improve cognitive abilities such as attention, working memory, inhibition… I move to Madison in April 2023 from Switzerland where I completed a Master’s in physics and a PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience. Most of my free time is spent playing Roller Derby here in Madison, and when I am not on skates or working, I enjoy the outdoors, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and thrifting.
