We are open to academic collaborations on research projects (e.g., as part of funding programs administered by the BMFTR or at the Bavarian level). Our focus is on topics such as artificial intelligence, human-AI interaction, and digital transformation. If you are interested in collaborating with us or would like to discuss a potential project, please feel free to contact Prof. Mirbabaie.
