I am a Ph.D. student researching interactive technology to enhance mental health care, focusing on gamified information systems and avatar-based conversational agents. Beyond research, I am part of the ii-Hiwi-Office which manages the student assistants at our research group.
I completed my undergraduate and graduate studies in Industrial Engineering and Management at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with a DAAD Scholarship for German Schools Abroad, funded by the Federal Foreign Office. During my studies, I gained industry experience as a working student at dm-drogerie markt and Siemens AG. Before transitioning into research, I worked as a consultant and senior consultant at Deloitte GmbH for three years.
