Research Interest

With my research I want to explore the use of biosignal data like brain activity or heart rate to improve and develop information systems that optimally adapt to the user, increasing well-being or performance.

Adaptive Systems
NeuroIS & Biosignals (EEG, EDA, ECG)
Brain-Computer Interfaces
Flow States at Work
Future of Work & Digital Well-Being
Music Creation & Use for Work

Looking For...

I am looking for research assistants who are interested in experimental laboratory or field research on human interactions with information systems. I am always open for your ideas on thesis topics that are revolving in this field. Feel free to contact me, even without a specific idea, if you are really interested in my topics.
