About

Introduction
I am a Master Student of Media Culture and Literature Studies with great interest in becoming a professional researcher. My study interests include media semiotics, transmedial narratology and cognitive science. In the long run, I want to do research on narration and discourses informed by models of the brain. Also, I would like to embrace computerized methods in order to include more cultural data.
