Embodiment in action

Welcome!

On this website, information on the research and further activities of the "Sport and Cognition"-group at the Institute of Sports Science, Leibniz University Hannover, as well as some professional information to my person are provided. For further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.


Our research is grounded on the concept of embodiment and focuses on two main topics: motor decision making and joint action. In this context, we are particularly interested in the influence of age-related changes in cognitive and motor functioning on movement coordination. In addition and in support of open science efforts, we are active in the field of research data management.

Kick-off meeting: COST Action 23101 - Building Opportunities for Participation and Accessibility through lifelong community Mobility (BOPALiM)

On September 27th, the kick-off meeting of the COST Action “CA 23101 - Building Opportunities for Participation and Accessibility through lifelong community Mobility (BOPALiM)” took place at the office of the COST Association (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) in Brussels. As a member of the management committee, I had the pleasure of getting to know the interdisciplinary and international members of the network in this context and am now looking forward to the development of the network over the next four years.

Alexander von Humboldt Foundation: Feodory Lynen Research Fellowship awarded

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has been awarded me with a Feodor Lynen Fellowship for experienced researchers to conduct a research project at the University of Sydney, Australia. From January to July 2025, I will be able to investigate the influence of cognitive biases on (motor) decision-making in collaboration with Dr. Bruce Burns.

Many thanks to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for this funding and also to Dr. Bruce Burns for his willingness to collaborate.
