About Me

I am a PhD student at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, supervised by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schwanecke. I conduct my PhD research in close collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation. My current research focuses on in-car Augmented Reality for passengers, exploring how head-mounted displays can enrich the travel experience through visualizing interactive points of interest.

I am currently a Visiting Researcher at University College London (UCL) at the UCL Interaction Centre, working with Dr. Mark Colley.

My research focuses on Augmented Reality in Human-Computer Interaction, exploring how interactive AR systems can be designed and evaluated in real-world contexts. I advance HCI through artifact-driven research, building novel interaction techniques and studying them in ecologically valid field settings. At the same time, I investigate how simulation can serve as a methodological bridge for prototyping and evaluating systems before deploying them in real-world studies.
