Enkelejda Kasneci is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Tübingen, Germany, where she leads the Human-Computer Interaction Lab. As a BOSCH scholar, she received her M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Stuttgart in 2007. In 2013, she received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Tübingen. For her PhD research, she was awarded the research prize of the Federation Südwestmetall in 2014. From 2013 to 2015, she was a postdoctoral researcher and a Margarete-von-Wrangell Fellow at the University of Tübingen. Her research evolves around the application of machine learning for intelligent and perceptual human-computer interaction. She served as academic editor for PlosOne and as a TPC member and reviewer for several major conferences and journals.
