About Me

Thanks for stopping by my site! I'm a researcher, Ph.D. candidate at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, working on free will and the mechanisms of intention formation. I have other interests that don't directly relate to my research project, but fall within the scope of cognitive science; particularly theories of consciousness, representationality in artificial systems, contemplative practices, and altered states of consciousness.

I collaborate with the Yogalife Foundation on their research into yoga and its effects on the human mind. Other more general interests you can discover by exploring the site include trekking, weightlifting, various forms of grappling and wrestling, cooking, and how to help little humans grow up and become happy, resilient, intelligent, and conscious adults.
