Info:

As a cutting-edge researcher in the field of biometrics for service research, I am currently pursuing my PhD at RWTH Aachen University. My dissertation, which employs mixed methods research, focuses on the latest phenomena in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and facial recognition technologies, and seeks to identify new opportunities and challenges for their use in the field of service research. In addition to fostering collaborations with other researchers, I am also a guest lecturer at various universities, where I teach different classes in the field of marketing.
