I am an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Computer Science specialized in Human-Computer Interaction at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. I work at the Department of Media Technology and Interaction Design (MID) which is part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. 

Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Telecooperation Lab at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Oldenburg while working at the Media Informatics and Multimedia Systems group with Susanne Boll. During my Ph.D. time, I visited the Multimodal Interaction Group at the University of Glasgow (UK), where I worked with Stephen Brewster on assistance systems for cycling children in cities with missing cycling infrastructure. During my postdoc time, I also worked at the Exertion Games lab led by Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller at Monash University (Australia) .

My research focuses on Extended Reality (XR) and interaction with and within immersive spaces. I lead an Immersive technologies lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where we explore ways of improving users’ XR experiences via novel input techniques, haptic feedback, locomotion, taste, simulations, and exertion games.
