Thiemo Wambsganss is a PhD-candidate at the Institute of Information Management at the University of St. Gallen (HSG), Switzerland. His research focuses mainly on the design and application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques for AI-powered adaptive learning tools. He is investigating the impact of adaptive dialogue-based agents on the human-computer interaction such as for adaptive argumentation skill learning based on argumentation mining or for conversational agents on course evaluation outcomes. Besides, he focuses on the application of NLP and ML techniques for information extraction of user-generated-content such as on social media (e.g., Twitter) or on online-web-communities.

Dr. Roman Rietsche
Researcher at the Institute of Information Management, University of St.Gallen (HSG)
Intelligent Feedback Systems
Roman’s research interest lies designing and quantitatively evaluating socio-technical information systems using experimental design. Roman’s early carrier is focusing on how to provide effective and helpful feedback to students in large-scale university lectures. Therefore, Roman is analyzing a large quantity of written feedbacks using state of the art natural language processing tools. In 2019, Roman received a one-year research grand from the Swiss National Foundation and was a visiting researcher at Fox School of Business, Temple University, USA and Assessment Research Divison Cambridge Assessment, Cambridge University, England. Before joining the Institute of Information Management, Roman worked as a security consultant and project manager in industry for over two years. Roman received his M.Sc. from the University of Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany in Information Systems with a specialization in Information Technology, his B.Sc. Hons from Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland in Information Technology and his B.Sc. from the University of Applied Sciences, Furtwangen, Germany in Computer Networking.
