Chemnitz, Germany

I am a Researcher currently involved in the EU-funded CAPTURE project at the Department of ALM, Uppsala University in Sweden. Additionally, I am a Visiting Scholar collaborating with the Professorship of Predictive Analytics at the Technical University of Chemnitz in Germany. My work encompasses various areas, including conducting a collaborative research project focused on eliciting user discovery contexts with the Australian Research Data Commons. Moreover, I have co-organized the Data Search initiative, a shared task on ad-hoc retrieval for governmental statistical data, organized by the NCTIR Project in Japan.

My research program revolves around Information Science, specifically Human-Centered Data Science, at the crossroads of information retrieval, knowledge organization, and human information behavior. I have a particular focus on designing and evaluating interactive information retrieval systems. In recent times, my research has concentrated on applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Digital Humanities and developing computational models for user-adaptive interfaces.

Recently, I co-edited a book titled Information and knowledge organization in digital humanities: Global perspectives, published by Routledge. I have also been engaged with the iSchool Digital Humanities Curriculum Committee and have worked on an EU-funded Digital Humanities project, PICCH (Polyvocal Interpretations of Contested Colonial Heritage).
