WISDOM OF CROWDS   |  HYBRID INTELLIGENCE   |   DECISION SUPPORT   |   MACHINE LEARNING


Research

Hello. I am a final year PhD student at the Center for Adaptive Rationality, Max Planck Institute for Human Development. My work focuses on improving the decision making of individuals, crowds and hybrid human-AI systems. I combine decision making research from psychology and economics with the latest insights from computer science.

My PhD is funded by the Foundation of German Business (Stiftung der deutschen Wirtschaft). I have received further funding by the Danish Data Science Adacemy and the Joachim Herz Foundation.

Industry

I also work as a consultant and ML engineer. Here, my focus is on the development of intepretable machine learning models that are accurate, fair and transparent. To that end, I employ a wide suite of model architectures and engage in a lot of feature engineering and multi-parameter optimization. It is good fun. In my industry work I often join forces with Simply Rational.
