Research Interest
Dear Reader,
Thank you for your interest in my work. I am the head of the Research Topic "Emotion-adaptive Systems for Hybrid Work & Learning" of the Research Group "Information Systems I".
On this website you can find detailed information about my research interest, previous work, education, and further information. For further information please check also out the Research Topic website.
In my research, I am interested in the following topics:
- Emotional Competence and Emotional Regulation Strategies
I design and evaluate intelligent systems for scalable emotional competence development for remote workers based on affective computing technologies. Thereby, I focus on the enhancement of emotional regulation strategies in common collaboration scenarios (video-meetings, group chats).
- Leadership and autonomy support
I investigate the effect of transformational leadership support capabilities of intelligent systems in hybrid work scenarios and the perception of the remote team members with regards to performance, well-being, and autonomy.
- Affective Computing Technologies, NLP, and Conversational Agents
I use AI-based technologies such as sentiment and emotional analyses, natural language processing, and speech- and text-based conversational agents in order to improve workplace collaboration of the users.
For my research project, I design and develop artifacts based on relevant design methods and techniques such as participatory design and design science research.. For their evaluation, I apply an eclectic collection of methods for qualitative and quantitative research in laboratory and field experiments to evaluate my research artifacts on the individual and the team level.
Please see also ChatbotResearch.com for further interest.
Are you also interested in these topics? 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!
