Details:

Anna works as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the interdisciplinary Chair of Socially Interactive Agents. She has been working there as a research assistant since 2019. Her research focuses on field studies on the use of intelligent virtual agents and serious games in (primary) education, sustainability, and healthcare. Another focus of her work is the practical application of Machine Learning concepts, especially Reinforcement Learning, in education. She is also interested in the use of explainable AI and its impact on the perception of virtual agents and users' trust.

During her PhD, she studied the design, implementation, and practical evaluation of an AI-powered intelligent virtual agent embedded in a mobile reading application for primary school children. As part of the MobiLe3 project, she played a key role in the development and validation of the evidence-based reading app MobiLe.
