Research
My research focuses on safety-critical Human-Computer-Interaction.
Thus, I am collaborating with various researchers, institutions, organisations and companies.
Since 2009 I am a member of the program committee of the workshop on IT-Rettung at
the
INFORMATIK
conferences
(last workshops:
2013,
2014,
2015,
2016 and
2017).
Since 2014 I am a member of the organisation committee of the workshop on Mensch-Computer-Interaktion und Social Computing in
Krisensituationen at the
Mensch &
Computer conferences
(last workshops:
2014,
2015,
2016,
2017 and
2018).
Projects
In different large research projects (e.g. SpeedUp and Interkom) I collaborated with partners from science (e.g. Fachgebiet Augmented Reality at TU München, Interkulturelle Wirtschaftskommunikation at FSU Jena, Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik at FSU Jena, Computeranwendung und Integration at Universität Paderborn, Robert Koch-Institut and Institut für Feuerwehr- und Rettungstechnologie at Stadt Dortmund), industry (e.g. Navimatix GmbH, Agilion GmbH, diva-e AGETO GmbH, TAF mobile GmbH and PRO DV AG) and practice (e.g. Universitätsklinikum Jena, Universitätsklinikum Ulm, Ministerium für Inneres und Kommunales des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, Landeszentrum Gesundheit Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rettungsdienst at Hansestadt Stralsund, Feuerwehr at Stadt Gelsenkirchen, Feuerwehr at Stadt Bochum and Feuerwehr at Stadt Essen) in order to design and develop interactive systems for crisis and emergency situations.
Activities
I am a member of
GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik),
a network of computer scientists which develops the scientific discipline and promotes the impact informatics has on economy,
business and society. Since 2018 I am a GI
Junior-Fellow;
the junior fellowship supports young talents ideational and financial.
Additionally I am a member of the
GI Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion,
which coordinates all activities on Human-Computer-Interaction within the GI.
Moreover I am a board member of the
Fachgruppe
Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion in sicherheitskritischen Systemen (FG MMI-SKS),
which focuses on using interactive systems within safety critical contexts.
Network
I am a member of various organizations and communities on HCI.
I am a member of
ACM (Association for Computing Machinery),
the international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology.
Additionally I am a member of
ACM SIGCHI (Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction),
the international society for professionals, academics and students who are interested in human-technology & human-computer interaction (HCI).
Last but not least I am a member of the
German UPA,
the largest community for professionals in the field of User Experience (UX) and Software Ergonomics (Usability) in Germany.
