Innovationslabor für Benutzererfahrung (UX)
Forschungsaktivitäten
Mein Ziel ist es, Designlösungen zu entwickeln, die komplexe Herausforderungen neuer Technologien angehen, wie beispielsweise die Integration von UX in KI-Technologien und die Anwendung von KI-Technologie zur Verbesserung, Argumentation und Beschleunigung von UX-Design, -Forschung, -Implementierung und -Evaluierung. Durch die Verknüpfung datenbasierter Erkenntnisse mit UX-Methoden möchte ich die Benutzerfreundlichkeit verbessern, die Nutzerbindung fördern und sinnvolle Nutzererlebnisse schaffen, die zum Unternehmenserfolg und zur gesellschaftlichen Wirkung beitragen.
Durch interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit (z. B. mit bildenden Künstlern, Datenexperten und Softwareentwicklern)
Durch die kontinuierliche Entwicklung neuer Lehrpläne, Zertifikate und Abschlüsse engagiere ich mich für die Ausbildung zukünftiger Fachkräfte im Bereich UX/UI-Design, um den sich wandelnden Anforderungen dieses Berufsfelds gerecht zu werden.
