Dr. Manuel D.S. Hopp

Dr. Manuel D.S. Hopp ist Postdoktorand am Hector-Institut für Empirische Bildungsforschung. Er verbindet Pädagogische Psychologie mit computergestützter Netzwerkanalyse, um strukturelle Determinanten der Talententwicklung zu untersuchen. Konkret nutzt er Large Language Models (LLMs) und persistente Homologie zur Modellierung der „Inhaltstopologie”, um zu analysieren, wie die Textstruktur Neugier weckt. Diese Arbeit bietet einen Rahmen zum Verständnis komplexer kognitiver Repräsentationen und zur Verbesserung der motivationalen Qualität von Lernmaterialien.
