Bio
I am a bachelor student studying Informatics at the University of Tübingen. My academic journey has been driven by a keen interest in multiple disciplines, including game development, human cognition, and machine learning. My fascination with creating immersive gaming experiences has led me to explore the intricate interplay between technology and human behavior. In particular, I am drawn to understanding concepts such as theory of mind and k-level thinking, both in the context of human cognition and their applications in artificial intelligence. Currently, I am deeply engaged in my Bachelor thesis project, where I am delving into the realm of game design and cognitive science. My research focuses on developing a VR hide and seek game that spans multiple rounds, requiring players to employ various levels of k-level thinking to outsmart their opponents.
