I'm a Postdoc at EPFL doing research on human vision. Aside from science I'm interested in programming and playing music with my band. If you are interested in any of the cool projects I've been working on, scroll down or check out my blog. You can also find me all over the internet using the services below.
DAEMONS (DAtaset of Eye Movement On Natural Scenes) is a huge set of images and associated eye traces. Find it here. I hope it will be useful!
Max 2024... the Potsdam young researcher award (Potsdamer Nachwuchswissenschafts-Preis). I am very honored!
November 2023... at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, in a collaboration project of Prof. Michael Herzog and Prof. Peter Neri.
November 2023the first ever ASPP in Latin America, on the beautiful Campus of UNAM!
June 2023!
June 2023First time showing some results from the new model, looking at the dynamics of fixational eye movement.
May 2023The title is "A dynamical scan-path model for task-dependence during scene viewing". Find it through doi: 10.1037/rev0000379 or, with nicer formatting, on ArXiv.
October 2022... for a Symposium on inverse problems.
September 2022... the statistics summer school that keeps me up to date with all things Julia and LMMs.
September 2022the European Conference on Eye Movement in Leicester. My poster was all about our upcoming PsychReview publication (stay tuned).
August 2022My talk is called "DeepGaze vs SceneWalk: what can DNNs and biological scan path models teach each other?" We have model trading cards!
May 2022The online release on Spotify and Bandcamp will be at the end of May!
April 2022... and worked on comparing biological/dynamical models and DNN's for predicting eye movements. Stay tuned for more results :)
October 2021...learned how to use a Lasercutter for all kinds of cool projects.
April 2021... at CODE University and learned a lot about the stats and about collaboration.
March 2021... in a real scientific journal and they even asked me to write an article for their blog. Uni Potsdam also liked it :)
December 2020... although it had a rocky start, I took it as an oportunity to contribute to some open github projects.
October 2020...with my band. We even have Instagram now. Stay tuned for the release :)
. September 2020... I would have preferred to give the talk live, but this way it will live on the internet forever.
March 2019... in Florida about visual long term memory and scanpaths and the difficulties of conceptual replication. Poster!
May 2019...in South America, where there was an abundance of adorable Alpacas.
March 2019in the context of my graduate school.
Febuary 2019... to teach myself to play walking bass lines. It's a metronome/random chord generator/direction pointer. Maybe some else will also find it useful.
January 2019... it was super interesting. Also Israeli food is lovely!
January 2019...after we'd also decided on a name-change. Check it out here!
Dec 2018... still in the field of vision science. Mostly I am working using bayesian parameter estimation to fit our biologically moticated model of eye movement.
September 2018... and had an amazing time at ASPP Summer School in Camerino.
September 2018... in cognitive science and Embodied Cognition. My thesis is about visual long-term memory and eye movement.
August 2018...as a researcher (and eventually PhD student) in this project. We will research and model eye movements during scene viewing.
September 2017...at ECEM 2017 Wuppertal and ECVP 2017 Berlin. Here's the poster I presented.
August 2017...in a Master's program at Uni Potsdam.
Oct 2016... for Image Annotation in the context of my work at uni. It allows the user to mark and annotate images and download a csv of the data.
July 2016...by building this website.
Feb 2016...the European Juggling convention, a 7 day fastival in the north of Italy.
August 2015...in the Biopsychology Department. I'm a student research assistant and I program eye-tracking experiments in Matlab.
Oct. 2014...at the University of Potsdam.
