Jana Gonnermann-Müller

I am interested in exploring how agentic AI, machine learning, and human-centered design can be integrated to develop adaptive, personalized systems for learning, decision-making, and broader societal impact. I use experimental methods and prototype evaluation to investigate these systems in practice. Currently, my work focuses on LLM-based educational tools and agentic simulations.
