About

Hey! I am a postdoctoral researcher at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. My research focuses on designing effective human-AI collaboration systems and studying how they shape human decision-making.

I use behavioral experiments and design science methods to understand how people form mental models of AI systems, and use these insights to design and evaluate interventions that improve decision outcomes. These range from uncertainty communication and explainability to incentive alignment, with a particular focus on avoiding pitfalls like overreliance and misinformation effects.

Research Focus Areas

• Human-AI Collaboration: Designing systems that leverage human-AI complementarities.
• Decision-Making under Uncertainty: Studying reliance behavior given aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.
• Incentive Alignment: Counteracting systematic overreliance through carefully designed incentive mechanisms.
• Mental Models: Understanding how humans conceptualize and adapt to AI partners over time.
