Research Services

Having completed a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, I bring 7+ years of scientific experience spanning multiple techniques for brain signal measurement and neuromodulation. I have applied these methods in feasibility studies, basic and translational research, as well as clinical trials, ensuring their success from concept to publication.

As a freelancer, I now put my skillset to the service of Neurotech companies and academic institutions. By integrating into research projects at any stage, I cover the need for specialized expertise, an unbiased perspective, or immediate additional capacity. I accelerate progress efficiently and flexibly, without the financial commitment of a permanent hire.

My research services and core areas of expertise are highlighted below, though these translate nicely to other scientific domains, and I will gladly dive deeper into further topics.

Every research project is a journey. An experienced companion keeps you on track.

Evidence Synthesis

A comprehensive, systematic, and unbiased overview of the state of the art provides the foundation for a truly innovative project. Scientific and market gaps reveal pertinent research questions.

Experiment Design

Only an optimal study design can yield optimal data. Sample planning, ethics, and available resources blend together into a clear protocol. SOPs for data collection and data management make it actionable.

Selecting the right equipment and developing experiment materials turns a plan into reality. Technical validation through piloting is a crucial step to prevent costly mistakes later on.

Materials & Infrastructure

Data Acquisition Management

Only high-quality data can yield high-quality results. Enrolling suitable participants, ensuring protocol adherence, and completing data acquisition on schedule requires effective coordination.

Data Processing & Analysis

With proper data cleaning and thorough analysis, the long-awaited results are finally revealed. A structured and reproducible workflow grants credibility and already streamlines future projects.

Visualisation & Scientific Reporting

Powerful visuals highlight the value of project outcomes. A clear and concise write-up delivers a compelling narrative to stakeholders and publishers.
