About me

  • Scientist
  • Enjoy designing and leading workshops
  • Love connecting research ideas with everyday challenges
  • Obsessed with note-taking apps
  • Always curious, always learning something new


I work at the intersection of science, communication, and collaboration.

My current work centers on the cognitive compromises of the common shrew, a model species for studying brain size plasticity and behavior.

I’m passionate about facilitating workshops, supporting digital collaboration, and making complex workflows more transparent. You can see examples of this in my Talks & Workshops and Projects pages.

I am deeply involved in open science practices, and I aim to advance openness, transparency and reproducibility in my daily life as a researcher.

I believe openness is both a technical choice and cultural one, about how we share knowledge and invite others to build on it.


## Previous life

20 Years of Violin Before becoming a scientist, I was a violinist, a journey that started when I was five. Over the years, I performed with various orchestras, including the United Europe Chamber Orchestra (UECO), and eventually, this work helped pay for my university studies.

While music has always been a passion, science turned out to be an even stronger driver, leading me to make the switch from professional musician to biologist.

I still enjoy playing the violin for myself and appreciate the creativity and focus it brings to my life.
