Research Interest

With my interdisciplinary background in data/computer science and psychology, I am especially interested in understanding the vast variety of social and technical challenges that accompany the development of ML-enabled systems. Furthermore, I have a general interest in empirical methods and open and reusable research artifacts.

Thesis Supervision

I supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis that thematically match my research interests. If you are interested in one of the open topics or have an idea that is not listed here, feel free to contact me!
