Who I am

I am an Academic Associate, leading an independent research group with two dedicated PhD students at the Cognitive Psychology chair at the Psychological Institute of the University of Zurich. 

​

My current research focus aims at understanding the synergy of working memory and long-term memory and how information is transferred from one system to the other.

​

Specifically, my interest is driven by the following three questions:

(1) Why is the capacity of working memory limited?

(2) What factors determine which information is stored more permanently in long-term memory? and

(3) How do working memory and long-term memory interact to navigate the requirements of the outside world?
