Timo Breuer

Postdoctoral researcher

I am a postdoctoral researcher at TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences. My main interest is reproducible science, especially in the context of information access systems. I work on solutions to analyze reproducibility and advocate logging metadata and tracking the data provenance of computational experiments. Furthermore, I believe that user experiments and simulations are the solution to bridge the gap between system- and user-oriented evaluations and to better understand their interplay and generalizability.
