Since February 2024, Maria-Teresa is a PhD Student at the Digital Society Initiative of the University of Zurich. She holds a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and a Master's degree in Computational Linguistics from the University of Konstanz. Her current research, which is embedded within the project The Canon of Latent Spaces: How Large AI Models Encode Art and Culture under the guidance of Dr. Eva Cetinić, seeks to unravel the diverse cultural, ethical, and societal implications of advancing multimodal deep learning models. Specifically, her work focuses on examining the explainability and potential biases of these models, alongside their capabilities in risk mitigation, cultural analysis, and artistic exploration.
