Profile

Biography

My background is in Computer Science (Diploma from LMU Munich) and Human Computer Interaction (PhD Lancaster University). After my PhD I worked on the Life on Earth project, where I have designed, implemented, and studied the use of a series of interactive museum exhibits that aimed to help the general public learn about evolutionary biology.

I am proud to have produced digital exhibits and interactive web-apps that have been experienced by over a million people worldwide, both in museums and online.

I was appointed as a Research Fellow/Lecturer in Interactive Media and Digital Creativy at the School of Arts and Creative Technologies at the University of York in January 2016. As part of this appointment, I am currently a full-time Research Fellow at the Digital Creativity Hub.
