M.Sc. Data Science @ FAU
Research Assistant @ SODA Lab, LMU Munich
I’m a Data Science graduate student at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen–Nürnberg (FAU) in Germany, and a part-time Research Assistant at SODA Lab, LMU Munich. I investigate how foundation models reason across languages, cultures, and human cognition — advancing AI research toward systems that create meaningful real-world impact.
