I am currently interested in different aspects of display technology with specific focus on multi-view, organic and novel display approaches driven from an HCI perspective. My research interest is primarily hardware-centric and focuses on prototyping systems within the field of HCI. I am also interested in applying HCI to improve the use of digital technology in existing scientific research fields through cross-disciplinary projects.
