My research interest are focused on (multi-)functional soft materials, on (in-situ) characterization of their functional (e.g. thermal, optical and electronic) properties and their mechanical behavior, and multiscale-modelling which allows to predict material behavior based on advanced (data-integrated) numerical simulations.

Neural dynamics and interactions, cognition and behavior, neurophysiology, MEG/EEG, MMG/EMG
We investigate how cognition and behavior emerge from dynamic interactions across neuronal ensembles and how these interactions are disturbed in the diseased brain. We employ an interdisciplinary multi-scale approach that links large-scale population measures of neuronal activity to circuit and cellular-level mechanisms. We combine human magneto- and electroencephalography (MEG, EEG), magneto- and electromyography (MMG, EMG), animal electrophysiology, psychophysics and sophisticated analytical techniques.
