M.Sc Samira Khraiwesh

About

I am a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Information Systems, Technical University of Munich (TUM), School of Computation, Information and Technology, Campus Heilbronn. I joined the research group in March 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Luise Pufahl.

My research focuses on Business Process Management, Process Mining, and Business Process Simulation. In particular, I investigate methods for improving the quality, explainability, and reliability of automatically discovered simulation models using sensitivity analysis, data quality assessment, and artificial intelligence.
