Research

A general theme of my work is human-centered computing. My main research topics in the area of media informatics are at the borderline of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. This includes development of principles, methods and tools for design and implementation of software systems as well as specific applications in the areas of mobile computing, ambient systems, natural and intelligent user interfaces as well as cooperative systems.
