Subject

I primarily conduct research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, with a particular focus on cognitive state prediction from behavioral data. Adopting a holistic perspective, I investigate (1) methods to predict the cognitive state of a user, and (2) adaptation strategies that use the predicted state to dynamically adapt the user interface.
