Bio
I am a Research Fellow at the German Sport University Cologne and previously worked at the University of Regensburg. As part of my research, I explore new ways to quantify human movement behavior using wearable sensors. I apply different analysis methods to small and large scale datasets - such as the German National Cohort (NAKO). I studied Sports and Health Sciences in Cologne, Munich and Copenhagen. I believe in the idea of open science and share my code and data whenever possible.
Three things I like:
Franzbrötchen and Fritz-Kola.
Tidy data and getting lost in my R and Python code. And finding my way out!
Riding my bike and climbing walls.
Things I am currently working on:
Exploring new approaches to estimate energy expenditure during physical activity using thigh-worn accelerometers [IJBNPA - 2024 | GitHub].
Developing a gait analysis pipeline for thigh-worn accelerometers [MedRxiv - 2025 | GitHub].
Exploring different existing activity classification algorithms using thigh-worn accelerometers [IJBNPA - 2024 | JPAH - 2024].
Finishing up with my PhD.
