Bettina Finzel holds a bachelor and a master degree in Applied Computer Science from the University of Bamberg. In 2018 she joined the Cognitive Systems Group as a research assistant and doctoral candidate in the project Transparent Medical Expert Companion (TraMeExCo), which has been funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research from September 2018 until December 2021. Since 2022 she continues her research on user-centred explainability for medical decision-making in the PainFaceReader Project, which is funded by the German Research Foundation. She is member of the German Informatics Society, the Federation of German Scientists, the national Society for Cognitive Science (GK) and of the Bamberg Graduate School of Affective and Cognitive Sciences (BaGrACS).
