I have been involved in multiple application-oriented basic research projects with industry and academic partners on various topics in different application domains. In the following, you will find a list of projects, co-funded by competitive grants, that I have participated in as applicant and principal investigator on JKU side or key researcher. In addition to those larger projects, I have supervised multiple master's theses with industry partners. I'm always open to collaborations. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me.

In the following, I list some representative publications which best reflect my research interests. A more comprehensive list of publications can be found on my DBLP, Google Scholar, and ORCID profiles.
In my research, I'm particularly interested in the investigation of innovative applications of AI and analytics to real-world problems in various application domains, in particular air traffic management (ATM) and tax law but also dairy farming and social media communication, among others.

Multilevel modeling overcomes the dichotomy between class and object in the object-oriented modeling paradigm. Rather, multilevel models comprise clabjects, which are instances of classes but also themselves classes for other objects. One application of multilevel modeling that I'm particularly interested in is business process modeling, including the representation of analytics processes.
