Research Interest

Dear reader,

Thank you for your interest in my work. On this website you can find detailed information about my research interest in Human-Computer-Interaction, previous work in research and education and further information.

Within my research I am interested in the following topics:

Computer-supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)

Conversational Agents and Chatbots

Groups and Virtual Team Research

Humane and Human-Centered Design and User Experience

Design Science Research, Online and Lab-Experiments

Please see also ChatbotResearch.com for further interest.

Does this interest you? Do you want to discuss research or are you a student interested in the topic and looking for a thesis supervisor? Feel free to contact me!
