I am a professor of computer science at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland<\/a>, where I lead the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) group. At the School of Computer Science, we offer an innovative modern computer science curriculum with contents from Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation that is unique in Europe.<\/p>\n

Before my time in Switzerland, I established the HCI research group<\/a> at the University of Bremen<\/a> as a professor supported by the Lichtenberg programme of the Volkswagen Foundation<\/a>. During my time in Bremen, I was director of the Bremen Spatial Cognition Center (BSCC) as well as also a board member of the Leibniz Science Campus for Digital Public Health<\/a>, the Center for Computing Technologies (TZI)<\/a> and an affiliated researcher at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM)<\/a>. Before that, I had a faculty position at Hasselt University, Belgium<\/a>. Before I helped to set up the Intel Collaborative Research Institute for Sustainable Cities<\/a> at UCL, UK<\/a>, I am still a visiting researcher at UCLIC<\/a>. I am also a visiting professor at the Interactive Technologies Institute<\/a> (I-TI<\/a>), in Portugal. Previously, I worked in Saarbrücken, where I was a senior researcher at the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI<\/a>). While at DFKI<\/a>, I received a PhD in computer science at Saarland University<\/a> (2010), supported by the Deutsche Telekom Labs<\/a> in Berlin. I obtained my Master<\/a>’s degree in Geoinformatics at the University of Münster<\/a> at the Institute for Geoinformatics<\/a> (2007). I am the founder of Qkies<\/a>, the world’s first eSweet<\/a>. If you have any further questions, please get in touch with me via email<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My research and work have received several awards, including the <\/span>ACM Eugene Lawler Award,<\/a> <\/span>a <\/span>Vodafone Research Award<\/a>, the lasting impact award at MobileHCI<\/a> and two <\/span>Google Research Awards.<\/a> <\/span>I regularly discuss novel technologies’ impact and consult with companies and think tanks.
