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 interpersonal coordination in sport and movement. In addition and in support of open science efforts, we are active in the field of research data management.

In 2023, in cooperation with Katja Keller and Claudia Niessner from the KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, we conducted a survey on current research data management practices in the German-speaking sports sciences. The outcomes of this survey are now published as brief communication within the German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research.
