Originally from Germany, I have a PhD in psychology from Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (2013), a BSc degree in Biological Psychology from the University of Amsterdam (2007) and a MSc degree in Human Cognitive Neuropsychology from the University of Edinburgh (2008). I also dedicated substantial time to learn about various contemplative traditions and practices, alongside my scientific work, including a Hatha Yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India (2017). I have been particularly fascinated by how different spiritual traditions, such as Tantra, relate to sexuality.
Since 2020, I have been working full-time at the University of Pennsylvania, first as Research Associate and then as Senior Research Investigator with the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative. In September 2024, I launched my own research lab, the Human Sexuality and Well-Being Lab, at the Positive Psychology Center, where I serve as Principal Investigator and Director of a multi-side, international project (website to come soon).
Since 2014, I have also worked at various times as a freelance scientific consultant, facilitator, meditation teacher, and group coach. Moreover, from 2014 to 2019, I worked as a researcher and lecturer at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin, Touro College Berlin and the Center for Mindfulness at Brown University.
