I am a faculty at the IES Abroad Vienna and a lecturer at the University of Vienna. There, I teach “Social Cognition and Clinical Disorders”, a seminar that examines neuroimaging approaches and methods for assessing social cognition in both laboratory and real-world settings. I also developed and am teaching a seminar titled “Behavioral Methods and Data Analysis” to equip students with the skills needed to design and conduct experiments that are empirically rigorous and ethically sound.

I present at national and international conferences on topics such as self-other distinction in clinical disorders, big team science, and environmental empathy. I actively organize and contribute to workshops, including the "From Self-Knowledge to Knowing Others" workshop, and serve on the conference programming committees of Big Team Science and The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science.

In addition to my academic work, I had a long-standing leadership role in public outreach as the Vice-President and Co-organizer of Pint of Science (Austria), where I foster engagement between the scientific community and the public.
