My primary interest lies in exploring the dynamic intersection between technology and humanity. With a strong background in (cyber)psychology and a keen interest in AI ethics, I am committed to delving into the fascinating realms of social robotics, healthcare, and the intersection of AI, psychology and human rights. I also have a strong interest in video game ethics and digital education.
​
Since August 2020, my affiliation with the Technical University of Munich's Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (TUM IEAI) has been a significant milestone in my career. As a research associate at IEAI, I have actively contributed to various AI ethics-related projects, ranging from AI governance and accountability, exploring AI's role in education, addressing ethical implications during the Covid-19 pandemic, understanding cultural perspectives, and investigating AI's application in (mental) healthcare.
​
Beyond academia, I offer freelance services. I also collaborate with iuvenal research GmbH, where I engage as an AI ethicist and Cyberpsychologist. Here, my focus is centred on assessing interactive technologies from a human-centric perspective.
​
On the other hand, I engage in science communication as I believe strongly that education is the heart of societal evolution. You can find some of my viewpoints in Louis Bouchard's What's AI Newsletter, and the podcasts and recorded talks I participated in the Resources. I also have at heart to engage and support a greater number of people through my engagement at Women in AI as the Munich City Lead and Women in Games.
​
To sum up, at the heart of my professional journey lies an unwavering dedication to promoting an ethical and human-oriented approach to the world of technology, through my academic work, but also in further activites with many stakeholders.

Thank you for visiting this website, and I look forward to discussing with you!
Curriculum Vitae
As a research associate at the Technical University of Munich's Institute for Ethics in AI I've had the chance to work on multiple AI ethics-related topics, such as education and AI, AI use during the Covid-19 pandemic, ethical implications from cultural perspectives, as well as AI in healthcare and general accountability for AI systems in Europe. As a doctoral candidate, my work focuses on the ethics of interactional technologies from a psychological perspective.
I've also had the chance to support and lead grant applications, coordinate consortiums, teach in different contexts and take part in science communication activities.
