Research overview

I am currently interested in different aspects of display technology with specific focus on multi-view, organic and novel display approaches driven from an HCI perspective. My research interest is primarily hardware-centric and focuses on prototyping systems within the field of HCI. I am also interested in applying HCI to improve the use of digital technology in existing scientific research fields through cross-disciplinary projects.

PhD supervision

I am interested in deformable displays, organic disjointed display elements, tangible interacatibles, novel stereoscopic approaches for single and multiple users. I have interests in brain-computer interfaces, haptics and bio-sensing. Feel free to discuss your ideas with me if they align to any of my research interests.
