About
I am a final-year PhD candidate in Human–Computer Interaction at Ulm University, with a research focus on sustainability and carbon reduction in resource-intensive digital systems. My work examines how carbon-reduction mechanisms influence subsequent user behavior and how emerging technologies can be implemented to support just resource distribution. Methodologically, I combine quantitative and qualitative approaches. I have a background in HCI (BSc), Data Science (BSc, MSc), and Behavioral Psychology and collaborate closely with academic (UCL Interaction Centre, Karlsruhe Institute for Technology) and industry partners (Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation). My PhD research is supported by the Landesgraduiertenförderung (LGFG) scholarship for PhD Students and the works presented here have been published at international HCI venues such as ACM CHI and in IMWUT.
