About

I studied Applied Computer Science with a minor in Computational Linguistics at Heidelberg University and received my Master's degree in March 2020. During my thesis, I developed a time-centric graph model that can be utilized for exploratory tasks. Since April 2020, I work as a researcher and Ph.D. student at the Institute of Computer Science in the Database Systems Research group of Prof. Dr. Michael Gertz.


A focus of my research is the detection and classification of Dark Patterns, malicious design patterns on websites that aim to influence user decisions in ways that benefit the owner of the website. In this context, I am part of the Dark Pattern Detection Project. More information on the project can be found on https://dapde.de/ .
