After writing my bachelor’s and master’s theses at the Interactive Media Lab Dresden involving different topics in the realm of mixed reality, I decided that I wanted to continue with that journey. This decision led me to become a lab research associate in 2022.
I currently work on a mixed reality project with Cluster of Excellence CeTI – Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop, where I aim to support remote-assisted, minimally invasive surgery.
Besides that project, I am generally interested in Mixed Reality, especially Augmented Reality as well as environment understanding and utilization.
