Research Associate
Since October 2018, I have been a research assistant at the Interactive Media Lab Dresden. From October 2018 until July 2022, I was a member of the DFG Research Training Group 2323 with the topic “Conducive Design of Cyber-physical Production Systems“. The Research Training Group was a strongly interdisciplinary team focused on cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) from the perspectives of computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and psychology. The RTG research was conducted according to my dissertation: “Understanding Immersive Environments for Visual Data Analysis” (preliminary title).
Beginning in August 2022, I’m a member of ScaDS.AI. Specifically, I’m part of the subproject “Scalable Visual Computing”.
In this project, I will focus on (1) developing multiscale data visualization for heterogeneous device environments and (2) effective, natural multimodal interaction techniques while (3) investigating perceptional issues for multiscale visualization and (4) researching responsive, i.e., adaptive visualization.
In general, my research interest lies within the space of Augmented Reality. Specifically, how users will be able to work with and within such systems in the future, which make not only use of the new device class of head-mounted displays but also cooperation with conventional devices like desktop PCs or tablets. For that, I mainly conduct studies that allow designers of future systems to make an informed decision on how best to support the users regarding their performance and user experience.
