Research Focus Digital living environments and health

•     Innovative software systems for technology-supported teaching, learning and testing in medicine and the health professions
•     Intelligent software and assistance services for support in the workplace

"My motivation as a researcher is to make people smarter and healthier through the development and use of innovative software!"

•     Process optimization and automation through artificial intelligence
•     Development of methods for the traceability of AI systems 
•     Applied game and decision theory

"AI systems are increasingly influencing our decisions and society. The modelling, optimization and investigation of AI-based decisions is essential in order to understand and help shape future developments. I would like to contribute to this."

•    Natural Language Processing and Conversational AI to support knowledge work
•    AI-based knowledge retention and knowledge transfer for learning organizations
•    Resource-efficient methods of machine learning

"The digital transformation, and in particular the use of artificial intelligence, is fundamentally changing the world of work. Cognitive assistance systems keep the focus on people and support them in their activities by procuring and providing relevant information in a context-specific manner."

•     User-oriented IT development
•     Leadership and collaboration in digitalization
•     Innovation methods

"In my research, I deal with the design of interactive technologies from a psychological perspective. My focus is on the technology development process, I explore how people and teams in IT can develop their full potential or how positive user experiences can be made possible for various target groups."

•     Web security, in particular authentication and authorization protocols (SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect)
•     Applied cryptography
•     Cybersecurity in medicine

"The threats in cyberspace are higher than ever before. With my research, I want to contribute to making our (digital) world safer in a sustainable way."

•     Usability technology
•     Augmented and virtual reality 
•     Innovative interaction technologies

"The interaction and collaboration between humans and technology is a very exciting, innovative and interdisciplinary field of research. New technologies such as virtual and augmented reality are increasingly finding their way into all areas of our lives. These new technologies must be developed to meet the needs of people and their tasks."

•     Methods and technologies of digitalization
•     Application scenarios and case studies of digitalization
•     Effects on mediation concepts

"I am interested in the effects of digitalization from both a methodological and a technological perspective. I look at the effects in specific professional fields of application as well as on teaching (both in terms of content and methodology) at universities. I examine both the changes themselves (descriptively) and the social and societal effects."

•     Biomarkers for mental and neurodegenerative diseases
•     Modeling cognitive processes in the human brain
•     Empirical methods and machine learning techniques

"In order to even begin to understand the complexity of our brain, we have to think across disciplines and individual methods. All of this is held together by computer science, which lays the foundations for this research using methods for data collection, storage and processing."

•     Health economic analysis models
•     Machine learning methods
•     Data analysis in the medical and epidemiological field

"The digital transformation puts people at the center and finds effective and economical solutions for the medicine of the future."

•     Development of sustainable procurement and value creation processes in the industrial, service and public sectors
•     Development of relevant future skills for the implementation of sustainable procurement and value creation processes
•     Sustainable process optimization in small and medium-sized enterprises using digital solutions

"Sustainable procurement is one of the most important levers for implementing holistic sustainable solutions in the industrial value creation process. It is the multiplier in the entire upstream value chain and enables sustainable solutions to spread across sectors far beyond a company's own operations".
