About Me

I am a researcher at the University of Zürich, focusing on Personalized Visual Analytics and Multi-Criteria Decision Support Systems. My work bridges the gap between complex data analysis and human decision-making through interactive visualizations and explainable AI.

My current research develops interactive frameworks that capture user preferences through explicit inputs and implicit feedback, enhanced with LLM-powered explanations to improve decision accuracy and transparency in real-world applications. I am particularly interested in how visual analytics can make complex AI systems more interpretable and trustworthy for domain experts.

Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of Visual Analytics, Multi-Criteria Decision Support, and Human-Computer Interaction. I develop interactive systems that make AI explainable, transparent, and aligned with human decision-making processes.

Visual Analytics

Interactive data visualization techniques for complex analytical reasoning and decision-making support

Human-Computer Interaction

User-centered design, interaction techniques, and human-in-the-loop systems

Multi-Criteria Decision Support

Developing frameworks for complex decision-making that balance multiple competing objectives and user preferences

Explainable AI

Developing interpretable models and explanation techniques for AI transparency

Uncertainty Quantification

Measuring and visualizing uncertainty in predictions and decisions to improve trust and reliability

Large Language Models

Integration of LLMs for natural language explanations and interaction
