Witnesses

<aside>

My research in the domain of witness testimony focuses on improving the accuracy of witness narratives. Currently, I concentrate on child witnesses, with a particular interest in memory processes and suggestibility. To support this work, I primarily use AI-based tools, especially large language models (LLMs), as methodological aids.

Investigators

In the domain of investigative interviewing, my research explores how to strengthen interviewer competencies through simulated avatar interviews, with particular emphasis on improving the use of open-ended questions and supportive statements. Moreover, the Long-term performance is also important!

Decision-maker

<aside>

My research on decision-makers focuses on two main questions: (1) whether AI systems exhibit similar biases as human decision-makers, and (2) whether AI-assisted methods can help reduce bias in human legal judgments.
