Professional Profile

I currently work at natif.ai, where we are building an Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platform that enables companies to automate their document processes.

Before that, I worked as a researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).

I completed my PhD at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Machine Translation (MT), where I focused on approaches to optimally support the human-AI collaboration during post-editing of machine translation output.
