I am an experimental cognitive scientist studying the links between joint action, communication, and learning. In particular, I am interested in how people acquire skills and technical know-how through social interactions with other people; how people use their existing skills and knowledge about the task and other people to encode and readout relevant information from instrumental movements, and the long-term consequences for this communication both at the individual level (e.g. how does online communication with a teacher affect what and how a student learns the skill?) and population level (how does the information change as it passes from person to person?)

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany where I am working with Prof. Dr. Cristina Becchio as part of the ASTOUND Project aimed at improving social competencies of virtual agents for human-AI interactions.
