Doctoral Candidate - Psycholinguistics - Paderborn University
I am a doctoral candidate at SFB TRR318 "Constructing Explainability", a collaborative research center at Paderborn and Bielefeld University.
As part of Project-A05, I am working under the joint supervision of Prof. Dr. Katharina Rohlfing, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Britta Wrede, and Prof. Dr. Ingrid Scharlau. Before joining SFB, I completed a Master's in Cognitive Science.
Research focus
My work examines the online dynamics of multimodal integration (language and vision) in human-human and human-robot interaction settings.

Approach
I investigate questions such as how individuals engaged in conversation leverage a myriad of visual and verbal cues to establish shared context, negotiate mutual understanding, and coordinate joint actions.
I mostly use eye tracking (mobile and remote), HRI experiments, and statistical modeling to explore these questions.
My hope is to use these findings to incorporate verbal scaffolding strategies in artificial systems that are tailored to users' capabilities, informed by their interaction history, and grounded in cognition.
