About Me

I am a PhD candidate at INDElab, supervised by Lise Stork, Davide Dell'Anna and Paul Groth.

My research project is a part of the Hybrid Intelligence consortium, where I focus on human-AI interaction for scientific data description, publication, and reuse. Specifically, I study collaboration and system patterns in heterogeneous (more-than-human) teams, to enable rich and contextualized dataset descriptions for increased reusability.

My core goal is to find and move towards beneficial and respectful ways for humans and artificial agents to work together for more broadly reusable scientific datasets.
