Research Interests
I worked in a diversity of topics within HCI, privacy and ubiquitous computing. In particular, I am active in the fields of eye tracking, pervasive displays, usable security, and user privacy. My contributions are at the crossroads of user privacy and ubiquitous computing:
- Designing Gaze-based Systems I contributed to comprehensively understanding and addressing challenges of gaze interaction on ubiquitous devices, such as mobile devices (CHI'18) and public displays (UIST'17, UbiComp'16, MUM'16), as well as proposing novel concepts that employ gaze to address problems on public displays (CHI'18, IMWUT, PerDis'17), and mobile devices (ICMI'17). Most of this work was done during my PhD, which was supervised by Florian Alt and Andreas Bulling.
- Usable Security and Privacy I contributed to both: (1) understanding threats to user privacy that are caused/facilitated by ubiquitous technologies, such as thermal attacks (CHI'17, Honorable Mention), and shoulder surfing (CHI'17), and (2) inventing novel ubiquitous systems for protecting user privacy on mobile devices (ICMI'17), public displays (PerDis'17), and in VR (USEC'17).
I also do side projects in drones, privacy and usable security, haptic interfaces, and mobile HCI.
