Prof. Dr. Simon Nestler

Professor for Human-Computer-Interaction

Hello. I am Simon Nestler. I am a Computer Scientist as well as an Usability Professional.

I graduated at Technische Universität München (TUM) with a diploma in Computer Science. Furthermore, I made my Ph.D. in Human-Computer-Interaction at International Graduate School of Science and Engineering (IGSSE) on "Design, Implementation and Evaluation of User-Interfaces for life-threatening, time-critical and unstable Situations". My thesis was supervised by Prof. Gudrun Klinker, Ph.D. Afterwards I was employed at Intraworlds as an User Experience Engineer.

Since 2011 I am a Professor for Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI); from 2011 to 2019 at Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt (HSHL), since 2019 at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI).
