Timo Breuer

Postdoctoral researcher

I am a postdoctoral researcher interested in information retrieval, reproducible science, and user simulations. I am part of the team led by Prof. Philipp Schaer at TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences) and received my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Norbert Fuhr and Prof. Philipp Schaer at the University of Duisburg-Essen. I am working on the RESIRE project to understand the relationship between user simulations and real-world retrieval experiments and how to make the findings reproducible. Before that, I worked on the STELLA project about interactive retrieval experiments, for which we developed a living lab infrastructure.
