I am currently a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at Graz University of Technology (Graz, Austria), in the Institute of Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, within the Applied Software Engineering & AI group. My research addresses key challenges at the intersection of recommender systems, user modeling, and human-decision making, with an emphasis on explainable recommendations and support for both, single users and group decision making. In this context, we develop methods that integrate human factors to improve user experiences and user satisfaction, and apply these approaches in domains such as healthcare and sustainability-aware systems. My work also addresses AI mechanisms for software testing and debugging in configuration systems, contributing to responsible, user-centered, and high-quality intelligent software.
