About
Paula studied Media Communications (B.Sc.) and Human-Computer Interaction (M.Sc.) at the University of Würzburg and has previously worked as a student worker at the professorship Psychology of Intelligent Interactive Systems (PIIS).
Within her Bachelor's thesis she explored the effects of ingroup cues on empathy towards IVAs in VR.
The work of her Master's thesis focuses on embodied AI within a therapy context, specifically, the effects of Transparency and Data Autonomy on Trust and Self-Disclosure. Since May 2025 Paula is working as a Research Assistant at the University of Würzburg and investigates ethical principles for the use of embodied AI and VR in the treatment of mental health disorders.
