Lena Kölmel M.Sc. has been working as an academic assistant at the Institute of Human and Industrial Engineering (ifab) since November 2020. Previously, she worked at the Institute of Experimental Psychophysiology (IXP). Her research focuses on human-machine interaction, in particular on the design of transparency measures in AI-based systems (XAI) and the cognitive psychological mechanisms that are relevant in this context. As part of various publicly funded research projects, she deals with the human-centered design and introduction of new technologies and the use of AI-based technologies in the educational context. In a previous research project, she conducted research in the field of human-robot interaction on the use of collaborative robotics in an industrial context. She completed her master's degree in Applied Cognitive Science (2016-2019) at the University of Duisburg-Essen. There she was able to gain insights into cognitive psychological and psychophysiological laboratory research as a research assistant. She completed her Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg (2012-2016).
