Academic Achievements
  • Received an honorable mention for the 2023 AAAI/ACM SIGAI Doctoral Dissertation Award; awarded a VENI grant by the Dutch Research Council (NWO); her student Markus Utke received a young scholar best paper award at the Social Choice and Welfare Meeting 2024 for their work on Anonymous and Copy-Robust Delegations in Liquid Democracy; received the 2022 Dissertation Award by the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI) and the Dimitris N. Chorafas prize; paper 'Anonymous and Copy-Robust Delegations in Liquid Democracy' accepted for publication in Theory and Decision.
Research Experience
  • Currently an assistant professor in the Algorithms cluster at TU Eindhoven; previously a Chern Postdoctoral Fellow at Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath) in Berkeley, California, and a postdoc at the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) at Universidad de Chile, hosted by José Correa.
Education
  • After studying mathematics in Cologne and Munich, received a PhD in theoretical computer science from TU Berlin in November 2022, advised by Markus Brill.
Background
  • Research interests include social choice questions, using techniques from combinatorial optimization, game theory, and statistics. Specific areas of research include multiwinner elections, participatory budgeting, apportionment, liquid democracy, and fair division.
Miscellany
  • Wrote a viewpoint article for the EATCS bulletin, arguing that the impostor phenomenon among early-career researchers should be understood as a natural reaction to certain environments and stereotypes, and suggested concrete actions the community can take to mitigate the issue.
