Forschung

Mein Forschungs-Schwerpunkt liegt zwischen Mensch-Computer-Interaktion, Engineering und Künstlicher Intelligenz. Ich beschäftige mich mit der Frage, wie der Engineering-Prozesse, insbes. das Software Engineering aber auch andere Engineering-Disziplinen, mit und für KI aus Mensch-zentrierter Perspektive verbessert werden kann.
