Currently I am working as a senior researcher at the Innovative Retail Laboratory of the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence DFKI in Saarbrücken, where i did my Phd in computer science. Prof. Dr. Antonio Krüger is leading our lab. In addition I am working with Michael Rohs at the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories in Berlin. I received a Diploma in „Geoinformatik“ at the University of Münster at the Institute for Geoinformatics in 2007. My research interests are new methods and interfaces to intuitive navigate through spatial information or in general new intelligent interfaces that help people to solve daily tasks more effectively: Mobile augmented reality applications, Wikipedia as a knowledge database and home grown multi-touch surfaces are just some of my areas of interest.

I collected experience in software development and conceptual design during my work on TIMMI (Timmi is mobile map interaction) and Wikeye. I organized the first FTIR Multi-Touch Workshop, held in Münster in 2007 and the follow up bootcamp „Build-your-own“ Multi-touch Surface in conjunction with IEEE Tabletops 2008 in Amsterdam.
