Teaching

I generally teach the following units:

  • Medieninformatik (lectures and tutorials, 5495). Given usually in the winter term. German language only.
  • Contextual Design of Interactive Systems (lectures and tutorials, 5496). Given usually every third summer term.
  • Data and Process Visualisation (lectures and tutorials, 5498). Given usually every third summer term.
  • Contextualised Computing and Ambient Intelligent Systems (lectures and tutorials, 5499). Given usually every third summer term.
  • Praktikum Medieninformatik (lab course, 5497).  Given usually in the summer term.
  • Seminar Medieninformatik (seminar, 5489). Given usually in the winter term.
  • Informatik und Gesellschaft (seminar, 5481).  Given usually in the winter term. German language only.
  • Systemadministration (seminar, 5482).  Given usually in the winter term.

I also supervise theses related to my research topics.

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.
