Bettina Finzel holds a bachelor and a master degree in Applied Computer Science from the University of Bamberg. She is mainly interested in machine learning and cognitive science research, especially for human-centered explaining of AI-based decisions in medicine and education. In 2018 she joined the chair of Cognitive Systems as a research assistant and doctoral candidate in the project Transparent Medical Expert Companion (TraMeExCo), which has been funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research from September 2018 until December 2021. From January 2022 until March 2023 she continued her research on explainability for clinical decision-making in the PainFaceReader Project, funded by the German Research Foundation. While finalizing her doctoral thesis, she is currently teaching assistant at the chair of Cognitive Systems for introductory courses on artificial intelligence, machine learning, AI evaluation and neuro-symbolic systems. She is member of the Bamberg Center for Artificial Intelligence, the German Informatics Society, the Federation of German Scientists (VDW), the national Society for Cognitive Science (GK) and of the Bamberg Graduate School of Affective and Cognitive Sciences (BaGrACS). She actively supports various associations outside the university, including ArbeiterKind.de and the network Gendermedizin & Öffentlichkeit which operate across Germany. As alumni of the make IT mentoring program of the faculty, she offers training and support to current mentors and program coordinators. She is Junior Fellow of the German Informatics Society.
