Forschungsinteressen
Head of Research Area Boosting Decision Making
- Stärkung (“boosting”) der menschlichen Urteils- und der Entscheidungsfindung “online” und “offline” (scienceofboosting.org) durch Erforschen der Entscheidungen von Menschen und Algorithmen und wie Menschen Algorithmen verstehen
- Kombination von Erkenntnissen und Methoden aus der Kognitionswissenschaft, der kollektiven Intelligenz (“Weisheit der Vielen”), Heuristiken und Algorithmen
- Anwendungen in den Bereichen digitale Öffentlichkeit, medizinische Entscheidungsfindung und Meteorologie
