I am a research associate and doctoral candidate in the PEPSys group. My research is situated in the field of AI systems. I am particularly focused on the evaluation of observable and measurable properties of LLMs as well as governance architectures for autonomous AI systems. What I would like to achieve with my research is to contribute to the development of AI systems that are not only technically robust but also socially responsible and ethically aligned. My work is interdisciplinary, bringing together insights and methods from computer science and data science with perspectives from techno-legal research.

These activities are part of the RAPID project. Contact me at pia.neuwirth@plus.ac.at or through LinkedIn.

Micro-CV

In 2023, I received my bachelor’s degree in Business Information Technology from the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg in Karlsruhe, Germany. As part of this corporate study program, I was taking on projects as a software and requirements engineer at my partner company Siemens AG. I subsequently pursued a master’s degree in Data Science at the University of Salzburg, graduating in 2026. During this time, I joined a team at Red Bull focused on anticipating, evaluating, and guiding technological innovations. There, I gained hands-on experience in testing, evaluating, and exploring the capabilities of generative AI models. In 2026, I joined the PEPSys group as a student assistant before transitioning into my current role as a research associate and doctoral candidate.
