About Me

After starting my PhD in August 2025, I centered my research on and around earable technologies. With a background in Psychology (B.Sc.) and Social and Economic Data Science (M.Sc.), and as a member of the KD2-School, I focus on identifying, developing, and evaluating use cases for earables, particularly OpenEarable 2.0. My work explores its applications in human–computer interaction, medical treatment and diagnosis as well as biosignal-adaptive systems. Furthermore, I lead the development and launch of EarXplore, an interactive online database on research on earables, which currently features studies on interaction with earables but is intended to be expanded to further topics soon.
