Conference Organization:

• From 2011-2013 I organized the Object Perception, Attention, and Memory (OPAM) conference. OPAM is an international conference dedicated to issues in object perception, attention, memory and other areas of visual cognition. It takes place, each year, on the first day of the meeting of the Psychonomic Society in major cities of the US. OPAM is intended as a forum primarily for scientists early in their careers, such as graduate students or post docs.
• In 2025, I will be organizing the Tagung experimentell arbeitender Psychologen (TeaP). The TeaP is a well-known psychological research conference of international junior and senior scientists from different fields of Experimental Psychology (e.g., cognitive, social, developmental, and biological psychology) and neighbouring disciplines. It has been held since 1958 and is typically attended by about 600 to 900 scientists from Germany, Europe, and the USA.
