Supervision

Research Supervision

At Institute WeST, I coordinate and oversee the broader direction of our research agenda. Over the years, I have had the privilege of supervising several doctoral students to the successful completion of their PhDs. These researchers have pursued a diverse range of topics within the domains of natural language processing, Web Science, social media analysis, human-computer interaction, and related interdisciplinary fields. Many of my former PhD students have gone on to pursue successful academic or industry careers. According to the Math Geneology Project, they now count among the extended academic lineage that traces back to figures such as Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei — a legacy that reflects the enduring continuity of scholarly mentorship.

Supervision of BSc and MSc theses

To date, I have supervised 100+ Bachelor and Master theses. My supervision approach is student-centered, with an emphasis on selecting research topics with practical relevance. Students interested in writing their thesis with me are advised to check the student handbook of Institute WeST, which provides guidance on how to identify a suitable topic and initiate the supervision process.
