I started to work as a doctoral researcher at the Educational Technologies group, DIPF, in 2021. Before this, I studied Linguistic and Literary Computing at TU Darmstadt. I finished with a thesis on detecting semantic uncertainty in scientific writing using pre-trained transformer language models and conditional random fields. Besides this, I worked as a teaching assistant, software developer and junior research assistant in various contexts and was active in academic self-government. When I am not busy researching, I like producing electronic music, playing the drums and hiking.
I am primarily interested in processing linguistic and behavioural learner data using methods from data science, machine learning, natural language/speech processing, corpus linguistics and computational social science, an endeavour often referred to as learning analytics. Within the field of learning analytics, my main interest is to build systems that analyse learners’ performance and interactions to support them with adaptive individualized feedback. Moreover, I am interested in research infrastructures, research software engineering and cognitive and post-structuralist approaches to linguistics.
