My current research focus lies on multitouch and gesture-based interaction. I am also looking at using AI method for teaching (Intelligent Tutoring Systems).
In the past I have done research on intelligent, emotional virtual agents and on gesture and sign language generation. During my time at DFKI (German Research Center for AI) I worked on dialog systems in the area of computational linguistics. My diploma thesis dealt with neural networks.
As a scientific reviewer I have been active for the EU and national research agencies (Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands and Iceland), for international conferences (CHI, UbiComp, SIGGRAPH) and journals (e.g. ACM TIIS, ACM TOG, ACM TACCESS). I am also member in the editorial board of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (Springer) und the journal on Multimodal Technologies and Interaction (MDPI).
2007, 2015 and 2023 my co-authors and me were able to win the Best Paper Award of the conferences IVA, INTERACT and ECSEE respectively.
You can find more about my research on my Orchid, Google Scholar and ResearchGate pages.
The video annotation research tool ANVIL allows the multi-level annotation of videos for systematic analysis of e.g. multimodal communication.
