I was a researcher in the Social Cognitive Systems Group headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Kopp at CITEC, Faculty of Technology at Bielefeld University.
As part of my dissertation, I developed a computational mathematical model of the human sense of control, designed for integration into reinforcement learning agents to enhance their performance. From April 2022 to April 2025, I was a member of the COMPAS project.
