I am a psychologist and human-computer interaction scientist. I have been Professor of Human-centered Design at the Hochschule der Medien (HdM) since 2002 and heading the User Experience Research Lab (UXL). I am spokesperson for the Information Experience Design Research Group (IXD). From 2020 to 2022, I also worked as a guest and adjunct professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN). Since 2023, I have been coordinating the ‚Mittelstand-Digital Innovation Hub Focus Human‘ funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Policy (BMWK) and am part of the European research project Theia^XR (Making the invisible visible for off-highway machinery by conveying eXtended Reality technologies). The focus of my research is on designing technologies for positive user experiences in order to promote well-being in future leisure and work contexts.
