Leonie Manzke

Leonie joined the Bits to Energy Lab in May 2023. She holds a BSc. and a MSc. in Psychology from the Catholic university Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. Her interest lies with researching the human-machine-interaction.

As an intern and working student, she gained practical insights while exploring this intersection in the aviation (Airbus Defense & Space) and automotive domain (Spiegel Institute), as well as supporting research of challenges in digital change management and digitalized healthcare at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems in Nuremberg.

Before joining the chair, she worked as a Research Manager at Psyma+Exevia Health, consulting various clients from the Healthcare, Dental and MedTech industry.

Leonie is interested in behavioral mechanisms in the digital domain and making the most out of data – particularly when answering questions that concern public health or sustainability.
