I am a PhD student in computer science at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, working on enabling episodic memory for LLMs. I am affiliated with the research training group “Neuroexplicit Models of Language, Vision, and Action” and advised by Mariya Toneva and Isabel Valera at Saarland University.

My research studies long-term memory in large language models and the design of more efficient memory architectures. In particular, I focus on episodic memory mechanisms as an alternative to expensive long-context processing. I am broadly interested in foundational principles of modular intelligent systems that apply to both biological and artificial cognition.

Before starting my PhD, I completed an M.Sc. in Cognitive Science at Osnabrueck University, where I worked on active foveated vision and reinforcement learning-based computer vision under the supervision of Tim Kietzmann and Adrien Doerig. Earlier, I was formally trained in philosophy and economics.
