Welcome! (top)

I am a Ph.D. Fellow with Susanne Bødker in the HCI Group at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University. I graduated in information systems from the University of Siegen with a Dipl.-Wirt. Inform. degree in summer 2009. In Siegen, I have been a student research assistant in the group of Volker Wulf and Volkmar Pipek. Since 2007, I was involved in several research projects. In my studies, I have previously been at TU Ilmenau, Germany and Tongji University, Shanghai.
