My research focus is on complex data-centered decision-making problems such as ranking multivariate items. My line of approach is to shift the analysis from items to the granularity of attributes as a promising, more user-friendly way to express preferences on items. For details, see my Master Thesis announcement.

I finished my Master's Degree in Informatics at the University of Zurich in October 2021. My major was Data Science, and my minor was Mathematics. I wrote my Master's thesis at the IVDA group about Human-Centered Ranking of Data Objects using Interactive Attribute Scoring Interfaces. After finishing my thesis, I worked as a HiWi at the IVDA lab for some months where I extended the tool that I've implemented for my Master's thesis. From April 2022 on, I am working as a research assistant at the IVDA lab where my main focus lies on the supervision of a Master Project as well as the work on my main research topic human-centered attribute-based item ranking. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
