I am a Computer Science Master’s student at the University of Rostock with a strong focus on applied AI, software engineering, and responsible AI systems.
My work sits at the intersection of technical rigor, explainability, and societal impact, especially in high-stakes domains such as animal welfare, and education.
I am particularly interested in how AI systems can be designed so that they are not only performant, but also understandable, trustworthy, and aligned with human and societal needs.
In addition to research and development, I care deeply about teaching, accessibility, and community engagement. I believe technology should meaningfully improve lives—not just exist as an abstract capability.
Current and Future Focus
- Explainable AI (XAI) for real-world computer vision systems
- AI-supported software engineering and code understanding
- Responsible AI in sensitive and regulated domains
- Teaching and mentoring in computer science and AI fundamentals

Volunteering & Engagement
- Volunteer Work at the Kampfkunstakademie Rostock
I see volunteering as an essential counterbalance to technical and academic work—keeping my perspective grounded in real human needs.
Values & Interests
- Responsible and human-centered AI
- Explainable and trustworthy machine learning
- Technology & society, AI governance, digital responsibility
- Education, accessibility, and social good
I like AI—but I like it even more when it genuinely helps people (and other living beings).
Blog
On this site, I occasionally write about:
- Applied AI and software engineering
- Explainable AI and ethics
- Teaching experiences and learning processes
- daily life, interests and about some projects that I want to do
