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. Since 2024, I have been leading the Research Group on Language and Natural Language Processing in Psychiatry. In my free time, I curate Art Brut exhibitions and row on the lakes around Berlin.

News

I have papers accepted to the ACL Workshop on NLP for Positive Impact and the RANLP 2025 conference. Stay tuned for more details.

In the winter semester 2025/26, I am teaching the second edition of research seminar on Schizophrenia and Mental Images.
