Jana Lekscha

Jana Lekscha has been a research assistant at the Chair of Information Systems, especially AI Engineering at the Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg since December 2023. She previously completed her Bachelor's and Master's degree in International Business Studies at the University of Paderborn. Ms. Lekscha gained practical experience at Diebold Nixdorf and OPTANO GmbH as a working student in project management and later also in HR management. Her practical experience also includes an internship at BMW AG in Munich in the HR department, in particular Compensation and Benefits.

In her role as an employee in the project "Development of strategies and tools for cross-media reporting, detection and treatment of cyberbullying and hate messages in investigative and law enforcement agencies" (CYLENCE), Ms. Lekscha is working in the consortium to develop concepts for the implementation of innovative solutions to detect, report and treat cyberbullying and hate messages more effectively. To this end, strategies and tools are being planned to enable the collection and analysis of public data by ESBs (operational and service units) using artificial intelligence (AI) on the one hand and to support the reporting of cyber abuse through innovative channels for the population on the other.

Jana Lekscha's research interests lie in the field of digital fitness technologies, where she explores the role of modern technologies in promoting physical fitness and well-being. She examines how digital innovations influence the behavior and adaptability of individuals and organizations in the sports and health sectors.

Another key focus is on how digital solutions for misinformation detection can help minimize the spread of misleading content. She particularly investigates the use of AI-based systems that automatically identify misinformation, thereby improving the quality of digital information.

Additionally, she explores the potential of decentralized social media as an alternative to traditional platforms, aiming to give users more control over their data and interactions. Her research emphasizes data sovereignty, trustworthy communication, and the creation of secure digital spaces.

Closely linked to this is digital identity management, which focuses on the secure and transparent administration of digital identities. Her primary interest lies in blockchain-based systems, which enhance privacy, authenticity, and trust in the digital space.

In teaching, Jana Lekscha supports the Bachelor's course "Digital Organizations" and in the Master the seminar "Digital Life", as well as a research project that takes place every semester.
