Her current work focuses on the research project ELAMU and the project Zukunftszentrum KI NRW. Within ELAMU, AI-based methods are developed to automatically extract information from unstructured material certificates and convert them into structured data for further processing in downstream systems. The goal is to reduce manual effort and errors in processing these documents and to improve their integration into digital production and quality management processes. The Zukunftszentrum KI NRW supports small and medium-sized enterprises and their employees in identifying and practically applying the potential of digitalization and artificial intelligence.
