Currently I am working at the Innovative Retail Laboratory of the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence DFKI in Saarbrücken. Prof. Dr. Antonio Krüger is leading our lab. I received a PhD in computer science at the Saarland University in 2010 and a Master in Geoinformatics at the University of Münster at the Institute for Geoinformatics in 2007. My research interests are new methods and interfaces to navigate through spatial information. In general I am interested in new intelligent user interfaces that help people to solve daily tasks more effectively: Mobile augmented reality applications and home grown multi-touch surfaces are just two of my areas of interests.
I collected experience in software development and conceptual design during my work on TIMMI (Timmi is mobile map interaction) and Wikeye. I organized the first FTIR Multi-Touch Workshop, held in Münster in 2007 and the follow up bootcamp „Build-your-own“ Multi-touch Surface in conjunction with IEEE Tabletops 2008 in Amsterdam and co-chaired ITS 2010. My hobbies are Mountain Climbing, Rugby, Traveling and ice cream.
