My research interests
My team possesses extensive expertise in psychometrics and machine learning, with a particular focus on passive mobile sensing. We are recognized leaders in this field, specializing in the preprocessing of data and ensuring data protection in the context of passive mobile sensing. My research focuses on predicting early symptoms of depression, trauma, personality traits, and overall well-being through real-time behavioral data. To this end, the PhoneStudy App is utilized within the POKAL consortium and the DZPG. I am also committed to advancing psychometric analysis techniques, including factor analysis and the application of machine learning. Additionally, I have a minor research interest in cognitive functions and their interactions.
