I am a final-year PhD student at the University of Mannheim, Germany, advised by Prof. Heiko Paulheim (University of Mannheim) and Prof. Goran Glavaš (University of Würzburg). I am interested in exploring algorithmic bias and diversity in (news) recommender systems, as well as in multilingual, cross-lingual and few-shot information retrieval.
Between Dec 2023 and Feb 2024, I was a visting researcher in the WüNLP Group at the University of Würzburg. Previously, I completed my M.Sc. in Business Informatics at the University of Mannheim, where I worked as a research assistant in the Data and Web Science Group.
