I am a research PhD student in the Social Cognitive Systems Group at Bielefeld University since December 2022.
My research focuses on theory of mind and mentalizing for multi-agent cooperation. I am interested in integrating these capabilities into a socio-cognitive interaction architecture, including decision-making, knowledge representation and behavior execution. I supervise the tutorials of the lectures “Foundations of Artificial Cognition” and “Language and Interaction”. I have also run seminars on Human-Aware AI and Socially Assistive Robots. During my master studies, I worked as a research assistant in the VIVA project. There, I worked on the development of interactive and explainable social robots.
