Hey,

I'm Lea, and my research focuses on the classification of German dialects using audio recordings. I'm currently pursuing my PhD at the Research Center Deutscher Sprachatlas (DSA) at Philipps-Universität Marburg, under the supervision of Lucie Flek and Alfred Lameli. I'm employed in the Regionalsprache.de project, which is a long-term project funded by the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz and also contribute to the BMBF project AnDy. During my time at the DSA, I have worked on system development and contributed to various projects, including the creation of the Hessenplattform.

Since January 2021, I have been working at the DSA. I started as a student assistant and now continue as a PhD candidate. During the time as student assistant, I developed the second version of the app Welcome to Bavaria on my own. The first version was developed as part of a Master's project in a team of students. Additionally, I have experience as a tutor at Philipps-Universität Marburg, where I taught programming, technical informatics, and database systems.

I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Informatics at Philipps-Universität Marburg. My Bachelor's thesis focused on "Effiziente Serialisierung von Objekten" (Efficient Serialization of Objects). For my Master's thesis, I worked on "Angewandter Learning Analytics Prozess auf Basis einer Sprachlern-App" (Applied Learning Analytics Process Based on a Language Learning App), which was built upon the Android app that I helped develop.
