Research Interests

In my research I focus on behavioural biometrics and their use in HCI. In particular one part of my work is adapting interfaces to user behaviour and build usable security concepts using biometrics.

I also do side projects in machine learning, computer vision and eye tracking.

Biometrics++

I am part of the research group Biometrics++ headed by Prof. Dr. Florian Alt and located at the University of Applied Sciences Munich.

The research group explores novel interfaces based on behavioral biometrics. Today, sensors in our personal devices as well as in our environment allow users' behavior to be analyzed in detail and this knowledge to be leveraged in different application areas. These include but are not limited to secure and usable authentication as well as adaptive user interfaces. The research group lays the conceptual and technical foundations and investigates the users' view toward such novel interfaces.
