My work sits where technology meets people. With a background in (cyber)psychology and a focus on AI and tech ethics, I study and support responsible design across social robotics, video games, and immersive realities, always with psychology and wellbeing at the core. I try my best to help translate broad principles and values into day-to-day practice.

​

Since August 2020, I’ve been a research associate at the Technical University of Munich’s Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (TUM IEAI), contributing to projects on AI governance and accountability, AI in education, cultural perspectives on AI, and applications in (mental) healthcare - including during the Covid-19 period. Since June 2024, I’m among the first Friedrich Schiedel Fellows at the TUM Think Tank / TUM School of Politics, where I explore the psychological impacts of interactional systems. I also coordinate and handle the training of a European MSCA Doctoral Network in which 17 doctoral candidates work on aligning LLMs with human values. 

​

Beyond academia, I run workshops, guest teaching, and applied interventions for organisations worldwide. I’m active in science communication and community building, including with Women in Games and Women in AI as WAILab researcher and lead for psychology and the WAI Germany co-ambassador, because I believe education and inclusion are central to how societies evolve with technology.

​

In short: I’m committed to ethical, human-oriented technology - through research, teaching, and hands-on collaboration with diverse stakeholders. If that resonates, I’d love to connect.
