Further Questions:

What do you value most about your work at CeTI?

The amazing network of bright researchers, the extra sessions on career & personal development, as well as the special attention to inclusion, diversity, and societal good at large.

What was your best moment at CeTI so far?

Winning the first place at the Telekom challenge in 2021. This would not have been possible without the help of all the dedicated and supportive team members, and supervisors at CeTI.

What else would you like to research?

The two-sided relationship between technology and societal good. Often we focus on how we can use technology to improve society, but we neglect how exponentially-powerful technology is actually changing the core fabrics of human interactions today. From a psychological perspective, our human brain cannot keep up with the influx of information and the technological stimuli, in both: their volume and intensity.

How do you spend your spare time?

Participate in young non-profit youth organizations such as TEDxDresden, the European students forum, and coaching young students all over Europe using non-formal education methods. In addition, I am an active member of the startup Eco-system in Dresden and in Berlin, and have delivered many keynote talks in the past such as my latest invited keynote talk at the Dresden house of state together with International talent award program (intap). I also try to attend events & trainings that are away  from the technology bubble such as the German symposium at the London School of Political Science and Business Economics (LSE).
