About

I am a recipient of a DOC Fellowship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences at the Institute of Logic and Computation at the TU Wien.

I work on notions of explainability in Answer-set Programming (ASP), especially for advanced language features and hybrid forms of ASP. Furthermore, I'm interested in logic in general and particularly in the context of AI.
