Overview
I'm a PostDoc in machine learning at the Intelligent Data Analysis group at the Berlin Institute of Technology (Technische Universität Berlin), Germany and member of the Berlin Brain-Computer Interface group (BBCI). My current research interest includes BCI for patients, new auditory BCI paradigms, mental state monitoring for BCI, workload analysis in real-time applications, EEG-based gaming. On the algorithmic side this includes methods for feature selection and adaptation. Furthermore I am interested in audio perception and in industrial applications for machine learning. To investigate most of these topics I perform experiments with healthy subjects and patients and analyze their brain activity.My publication list gives a more detailed picture of my research activities. On some topics you may also find short overviews. I'm also involved with teaching.
