AI Colloquium with Prof. Dr. Hanna Drimalla

The AI Colloquium, organized by the Lamarr Institute, the Research Center Trustworthy Data Science and Security (RC Trust) and the Center for Data Science & Simulation at TU Dortmund University (DoDas), provides a platform for leading researchers to present groundbreaking work in the field of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. These 90-minute sessions, which usually take place on Thursdays at 10 a.m. c.t., unlike other colloquia, focus on interactive dialog and international collaboration and include one-hour lectures and 30-minute Q&A sessions. The colloquium will be held mainly in English. The hybrid format of the colloquium ensures that all interested parties can participate in person in the lecture hall at Fraunhofer Straße 25 in Dortmund or online via our Lamarr YouTube channel. On December 12th, the AI Colloquium welcomes Prof. Dr. Hanna Drimalla as its next speaker with a keynote entitled “Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence for Mental Health”.

Prof. Dr. Hanna Drimalla

Hanna Drimalla, Professor of Human-Centered AI at Bielefeld University’s CITEC, combines computer science and psychology to develop automated stress measurement, analyze social interactions, and enhance AI explainability. She earned her Ph.D. in 2019 from the Humboldt University in Berlin, focusing on mimicry and empathy using Machine Learning. After postdoctoral work on digital mental health at the Hasso-Plattner Institute, she has led the Multimodal Behavior Processing Group since 2020, advancing empathic AI that understands and responds to human emotions.
