She has a background in engineering, data analysis and AI and is very passionate about educating the next generation but also the general public. Additionally to her daily job, Julia leads the Women in AI Chapter in Aachen. Women in AI is an initiative that supports women and other minorities in AI. Julia strongly believes that the current gender gap particularly in STEM areas comes not from the fact that women are less competent but less confident, and therefore require motivation, encouragement, and role models.
