About me

I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Since 2022, I have been participating in the Digital Clinician Scientist Program of the Berlin Institute of Health. I do both clinical work with people suffering from severe mental illness as well as research at the intersection of psychiatry, linguistics, and natural language processing. In my free time, I curate Art Brut exhibitions and row on the lakes around Berlin.
