Teresa Luther

Member of Knowledge Construction lab

Teresa Luther has been a researcher and a PhD student at the IWM in the Knowledge Construction lab since January 2023. As part of her doctoral thesis, she focuses on the collaboration of humans with language-based agents and is particularly interested in differences in the collaboration of humans compared to the collaboration of humans with language-based agents. Her research projects center on both dyads (human-human and human-AI) and teams (human-only teams and teams consisting of humans and AI) and she investigates relationships between user-related variables (e.g., trust in AI systems), team composition, task type (e.g., collaborative writing of a text), and group-level variables such as team performance and group cohesion.

Teresa Luther studied Psychology at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (M.Sc. 2022). During her studies, she worked as a research assistant in the research group Innovative Neuroimaging at the University Hospital for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Tübingen. Before joining the IWM, she worked as a lecturer for Psychological Diagnostics in the research group Diagnostics and Cognitive Neuropsychology of the Institute of Psychology of the University of Tübingen.
