About Me

Welcome, and thank you for visiting!
Here, you’ll discover my work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human behavior, and digital economics.

As an AI manager, scientist, lecturer, and founder, I design and pilot innovative AI solutions, study their impact on human behavior, and help organizations navigate the complex socio-technical landscape of AI with clarity and purpose.

In my research, I am passionate about exploring how AI shapes human behavior and bridging the gap between breakthrough technologies and the people who use them.
