Mindfulness in Organizations
Project Description
The practice of mindfulness, that is, non-judgmental attention to present-moment experiences, originates in the Buddhist tradition. It is, however, not only a spiritual concept, but also a scientifically sound disposition that interacts with a variety of mental properties including the abilities to direct and sustain one's attention, and to regulate one's emotions. For example, when examined within organizational settings, it correlates positively with job performance, job satisfaction, and prosocial behavior; and negatively with impulsivity, hostility, and burnout, among others. Further, organizations themselves can be more or less mindful as a collective "hive mind." Yet, research on the application of mindfulness practices within organizational settings is still in its infancy. This project aims to explore the interaction between individual and collective mindfulness in organizations and their theoretical and practical implications. Further, it aims to identify ways to improve them. Its results will deepen our understanding of organizations that allow their employees to thrive both professionally and personally.

A Risk Index for Global Private Investors
Project Description
In this project, we construct a series of risk indices for global private investors (a global, european, north american and asian version). These risk indices will reflect the overall risk of typical multi-asset class portfolios of global private investors. They will be based on a modification of the financial turbulence measure of Kritzman and Li (2010).

Hackers and AI: Investigating Hackers' Technical Innovation Through the Lens of Cyber Threat Intelligence and Natural Language Processing
Project Description
The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, with new tools and technological advancements changing how adversaries conduct cyberattacks. With the progression of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI tools being openly available for various uses, attackers can leverage AI to drive attacks. These types of attacks are termed "offensive AI." Offensive AI enhances adversaries and enables them to launch more targeted and complex attacks that can be conducted at a higher frequency and larger scale. This dissertation shall provide a holistic overview of (i) how offensive AI changes the threat landscape and (ii) the limitations of offensive AI.

A sense of (non) place: in search for alternatives to the generic city
Project Description
The reign of generic individualism in today's globalized environment has led to repetitive urban and architectural design based on transience rather than lasting impressions, resulting in what Marc Augé has described as "non-places". Despite the ephemerality and sense of dispersion that results from globalization, the human need for belonging and identification strongly remains and raises the following question: how can we situate ourselves in an everyday urban environment, that is characterized by continuous change and temporary commitments, the rise of mass-produced, and standardized "non-places"? The research project aims at finding answers to this question by way of an empirical study. The study explores alternative approaches to the reigning style of generic individualism and draws attention towards more situated design practices growing out of the interaction between the inhabitants and their surroundings. The project adopts qualitative empirical research methods in form of interviews and ethnographic research in order to gain a deep understanding of already existing practices that succeed to "de-generify" the present day global city. The purpose of this study is to explore deeper and more innovative modes of engagement with the surrounding urban environment and to consider the idea of a shared local community. The research will result in a portfolio of relevant practices and outline a theoretical foundation for future research in the field of architectural design.
