I am interested in human-on-the-loop autonomous systems. These software-intensive systems make a lot of decisions autonomously. To enable successful human-machine collaboration, humans need to understand the decisions that are made by these systems. Humans also need to be able to express their own needs in a way that machines understand. My research focuses on the following questions:

• How can we (continuously) elicit preferences and goals that people deem important in autonomous systems? [REFSQ 2021, REJ 2022, SEAMS 2022]
• How can quality tradeoffs be explained to humans, so that it is easier to understand how systems behave? [JSS 2023 (Wohlrab et al.), ECSA 2023 (Diaz-Pace et al.)]
• How can systems be monitored to ensure that safety and security constraints are fulfilled, but so that we can reduce energy consumption and required bandwidth? [CNS'22, JSS 2023 (Vierhauser et al.)]
