About
My name is Sophie and I am in the final phase of my doctorate in engineering psychology at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich. In my dissertation, I am investigating how adaptive assistance systems can contribute to safety in complex flight missions by recording cognitive states. During my psychology studies and my doctoral program, I participated in various university and non-university research projects, where I discovered my passion for data analysis and scientific work. When I'm not at the university, I enjoy traveling and hiking in the mountains.
