Background and activities

Kerstin is an associate professor in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. She holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Hildesheim, Germany. Her main research interest are data-driven decision support systems as well as knowledge-intensive Case-Based Reasoning.
 
Research Interest: 
The main focus of her work are methods for applied artificial intelligence. While the application domains differ, we are investigating how to make knowledge and experience available through intelligent systems. Moreover, how to build systems that support complex, knowledge-intesive decisions using heterogenous data sources. Currently, among other research activities, she is the project manager of the selfBACK EU project that develops an eHealth application for low back pain patients. She enjoys discussing AI methodologies and applications with fellow researchers, but more importantly teaching it to students and bringing it into multidisciplinary projects and thereby shaping the new digital world.
 
In particular we are applying methods from the following research fields:
  • Information Extraction
  • Data Analytics and Pattern Recognition
  • Case-Based Reasoning
Research Group: Data and Artificial Intelligence
