Hi, I’m a researcher at GESIS focusing on scholarly document processing and knowledge graph utilisation with an aim to improve detection of LLM use in science, in particular egregious use. I have academic interests in scientometrics, creativity in science, author name disambiguation, reproducible science, web data capture and news verification.

I have worked within the German Competence Network for Bibliometrics since 2023 and am currently working in the Open Bibliometrics project from 2026 to 2028. As part of this work I created the Open Research Converter, which can be used to quickly identify OpenAlex IDs from DOIs in bulk.

In my spare time I enjoy listening to, composing and performing music, throwing together projects in electronics and programming, astronomy and computer games such as Terra Invicta and EU5.
