YOUR ACADEMIC PARTNER FOR AI
I support universities and NPOs in the strategic integration and utilization of Artificial Intelligence.
I am an AI consultant with an interdisciplinary background rooted in analytical philosophy, neuroscience, and over ten years of experience in research management. I developed my AI competencies through hands-on practice – particularly by introducing AI tools, delivering training sessions, and providing strategic consulting in academic and non-profit contexts.
