I am a computer science researcher and educator who inspires and encourages students
to be passionate. I research at the intersection of education technologies,
software engineering, and human-computer interaction and am interested
in robotics and machine learning.
I love to design, build, and use education technologies. The main goal of my research
is to improve students’ learning experience while decreasing the workload of teaching
by using machine learning to automate tasks and free time for personal interaction.
I am part of the executive board of the TUM Center for Educational Technologies and work
in the focus area Assessment & Software Development on the development, integration, application, and evaluation of educational
technologies in actual courses to improve the learning experience of students and the teaching experience of faculty.
I am also an expert member of the TUM Think TankGenerative AI Task Force which strives to develop
guidelines and regulatory approaches in the field of generative AI.
I consider diversity as essential. I am committed to advancing women’s careers in computer science, actively mentoring them and promoting their inclusion through outreach programs to schools such as ExploreTUM, she.codes, and HackerSchool. By presenting young girls and women with female students as role models and real-life examples of the possibilities of software engineering and artificial intelligence, we inspire and nurture their interest in computer science. This helps to foster a future in which everyone has equal opportunities to contribute to technological advancements.
Within my research group and in my projects and courses, I actively strive for an international and diverse community. This diversity goes beyond nationality, ethnicity, and gender, extending to differences in experiences, perspectives, and ideas. Each unique insight can lead to breakthroughs in research, teaching, and the application of computer science. For me, respect, diversity, inclusion, equality, and equity are not just values, but guiding principles for action. I firmly believe that embracing diversity will catalyze our journey towards realizing the full potential of computer science. I am a fellow in the program Cultural Competence in Computing to develop professional programs which foster more inclusive and equitable cultures.

Contact me during the office hours for more information. You can also bring your own ideas if they fit to my research interests.
I recommend to use the Typst template for your proposal and your thesis (please adapt it to your own needs). Please create pull requests for improvement suggestions.
Recommendation
You are responsible for your thesis. It is your project. Make a schedule including milestones, manage your project and actively promote it.
Take notes during or after the supervision meetings so that you don’t forget the feedback and the most important decisions.
Start writing from the beginning by taking notes and structuring your thoughts. This helps to reflect about the progress.
Communicate clearly and proactively: It is absolutely ok, if you make mistakes, learn from them!
If you are interested, please clone the Git repository and get Artemis running in your local development environment (e.g. IntelliJ) before sending an email to me. Include your transcript and CV and describe your motivation and experiences.
