I completed my PhD in Germany at the Leibniz Institute for Working Environments and Human Factors under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Schneider. Before that, I received my master’s degree in Cognitive Science at Ruhr University Bochum and my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Bucharest.

I am interested in how we orient attention internally toward information stored in short-term and long-term memory, and the neural mechanisms that support this process. My research also examines the interactions between short-term and long-term memory systems, and how they mutually support and occasionally interfere with each other. I use a wide range of EEG analysis techniques, including event-related potentials (ERPs), oscillatory power analyses across different frequency bands, and multivariate pattern analysis to decode the contents of internal representations.
