Research
& Open Science/
My research sits at the intersection of geoinformatics, machine learning, and open science. I'm passionate about making research transparent, reproducible, and accessible. As a Reproducibility Manager at the University of Münster, I verify the computational reproducibility of scientific papers. Below are highlights from my research journey.
research areas/
Geospatial Analysis
Geostatistics, spatial data analysis, raster/vector processing, remote sensing, and GIS applications for health and environmental research.
Machine Learning & AI
NLP, sentiment analysis, LLM-based chatbots, predictive modeling for public health, and AI applications in geosciences.
Open Science
Computational reproducibility checking, FAIR data principles, open-source research tools, and transparent scientific workflows.
Health Informatics
Geospatial analysis of disease patterns, malaria prevalence modeling, and haptic/assistive technologies for visually impaired navigation.
