I build visual analytics systems for research and production. My work centers on knowledge representation for steering and grounding AI systems. I currently apply this to agentic data analysis, visualization recommendation, and automated chart critique.
Currently, I’m wrapping up my MSc in Data Science at the University of Vienna with Torsten Möller while working with the IVIA Lab team at ETH Zürich . I’m also lucky to collaborate on research with Laura Koesten at MBZUAI and Dominik Moritz at Carnegie Mellon University .
Before diving into research, I spent nearly a decade shipping production software. I built telemetry platforms at Magna , shipped geospatial tools for the City of Vienna and the Austrian Federal Ministry , and led the engineering team at STOIC .
Today, I balance my focus between industry and academia to keep my research grounded in engineering reality.
