We are pleased to welcome Prof. Steven Kimbrough (Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania) as a guest from June 22 to 26, 2026. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, and decision support systems. Several members of our group have been collaborating with him on joint research projects.

As part of his visit, Prof. Kimbrough will give a short impulse talk at the SOSEC conference "How Are You, Democracy? — Academic Conference on Measuring Sentiment and Polarization in Times of Crises," which takes place on June 25, 2026 at the TRIANGEL space in Karlsruhe. The conference is hosted by the SOSEC consortium in collaboration with KIT and the FZI Research Center for Information Technology as part of the Days of Democracy 2026.

We very much look forward to Prof. Kimbrough's visit and the exchange it will bring.
