Introduction
I completed my doctorate at the University of Bayreuth, focusing on automated process improvement in Business Process Management (BPM). My research explores how AI, process mining, and automation can drive more efficient and innovative business processes. Currently, I work in BPM and process mining, bridging the gap between research and practical applications.

A major goal in process mining is to analyze processes to determine possible improvements. However, event logs often bear substantial complexity, posing challenges for process analysts. Consequently, analysts often split event logs into more serviceable groups. While tool support is a crucial enabler for this task, and many approaches for event log...

Process mining bears the potential to add execution-related insights into the process. However...
