Academic Background
My background combines formal and computational linguistics. My bachelor's work explored prosody and the pragmatic interpretation of German wh-questions. In my master's thesis, ‘Form2Bot’: A pipeline to automate the generation of conversational assistants from medical questionnaires, I developed a pipeline for generating medical interview chatbots from FHIR resources in collaboration with Fraunhofer IPA.
