He then moved to Leipzig, where he earned his doctorate in data extraction and search engines in 2017. Until 2019, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Paderborn in the Data Science Group. He then became team leader at the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems. In 2021, he took over the junior professorship for Semantic Systems at the University of Hamburg. In 2023, he was appointed professor of business informatics, specializing in artificial intelligence and explainability, at Leuphana University Lüneburg.
