Curriculum Vitae
I studied in the international interdisciplinary programme Digital Media in Bremen, Germany. While my bachelor studies were a broad education in the fields of computer science, media studies and media design, in my master studies I took a a more scientific approach to digital media. After completing my master's degree in 2007 I commenced work as a research associate of Prof. Dr. Rainer Malaka. Here, next to research and teaching I coordinate the Graduate School Advances in Digital Media. In my dissertation I am investigating multi-touch interaction for computer animation.
