General
I've been a researcher at KIT since 2024. My primary research topic of interest is Software Plagiarism Detection. I am the current Project Lead of JPlag, an open-source plagiarism detector used by educators worldwide. I co-supervise the introductory programming lecture for computer science students, and supervise final theses, seminars, and practical courses.
