hi, I'm

Charlotte Kobiella

I'm a doctoral researcher in human–computer interaction at LMU Munich. I study what generative AI does to the way people experience their work, and in particular their sense of accomplishment.

AI is usually judged by how much faster people work with it. I'm interested in whether the result still feels like their own achievement, and what decides that.

I'm also part of the management team at CDTM, the Center for Digital Technology and Management in Munich.
