His research interests include intelligent user interfaces, natural language processing, information retrieval and mining, dialogue systems, common-sense modelling, and semantic (explainable) machine learning methods for cognitive computing and improved usability.
This includes multimodal multisensor interfaces for medical and health systems and Industry 4.0 in particular, common-sense and (interactive) machine learning methods for human computer interfaces, knowledge discovery, information extraction, and cognitive modelling with ontologies.
He has published over 150 scientific articles, and has been recipient of the German High Tech Champion Award in 2011. As a principal investigator he leads both national and European projects from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the Federal Ministry of Health, and Horizon 2020.
His recent application of multimodal multisensor interfaces is now having industrial impact,  for example SmartWeb's multimodal interaction design and technical infrastructure by Apple (Siri).
