His research focuses on anxiety and mood disorders, particularly their neural substrates, with an emphasis on anticipation, emotional processing, and cognitive control strategies. He employs fMRI and psychophysiological methods to investigate these areas.

Scientific Education: He earned a Diploma in Psychology from Technische Universität Dresden (2006–2012) with majors in Clinical Psychology and Work/Organizational Psychology, and a minor in Educational Psychology. His diploma thesis explored neural activation patterns in specific phobia subtypes. He completed internships at the University of Oxford’s Department of Experimental Psychology (2011) and TU Dresden’s Neuroimaging Center (2009).

Professional Experience: Since 2012, he has been engaged in postgraduate psychotherapy training in adult cognitive behavioral therapy at the university’s Outpatient Treatment Center.

Research Contributions: His work bridges clinical psychology and neuroscience, with publications on neurostructural correlates of phobias, generalized anxiety disorder pathophysiology, and fMRI applications in fear processing. His studies often integrate behavioral and neuroimaging data to advance understanding of anxiety disorders.
