Senior🎓
Top SchoolMalte Viebahn is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist with 11 years of research and applied experience bridging cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and data analysis. He holds a PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and blends experimental rigor (eye tracking, ERP, reaction-time paradigms) with practical data skills in R and research design gained through roles from postdoc to data analyst. Malte has translated academic insights into real-world impact—from studies of speech reduction and phonetic variation to analytics work at Lecturio—and recently completed psychotherapy training to bring evidence-based care to practice. He also contributes to open-source software, improving front-end UI elements and SVG support in the popular Rust GUI library iced, reflecting a rare mix of linguistic science and hands-on technical craftsmanship.
