I am a member of the chair since December 2016. I received my PhD in 2023.

Currently, I am working on effective human oversight of high-risk AI systems. In an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, philosophers, psychologists and lawyers we evaluate the EU’s proposal for an AI Act and the requirements it imposes on different actors involved in the production and deployment of high-risk AI systems.

My PhD thesis covers the application and extension of formal methods in the context of software doping. This terminology started to appear in 2016, one year after the U.S. first reported about manipulated emission cleaning software in Volkswagen cars (and later in cars of other manufacturers, too).
