Over the years I have taught a wide va­riety of cour­ses, lec­tures, and sem­i­nars, rang­ing from in­tro­duc­tory classes in com­pu­ter sci­en­ce, pro­gramm­ing, and in­ter­ac­tive sys­tems, to ad­van­ced cour­ses on ob­ject-ori­ented pro­gramm­ing, sy­stem de­vel­op­ment, and Human-Com­pu­ter In­ter­action.
My cur­rent teach­ing ac­ti­vi­ties are fo­cused on user-centered de­sign me­thods, usa­bi­lity, vi­sual com­mu­ni­ca­tion, and ex­per­i­ments in Human-Computer In­ter­ac­tion (sample slides).
Next to the courses that I teach, I also very much en­joy men­tor­ing stu­dents in Bach­elor's and Mas­ter's pro­jects. If you study com­pu­ter sci­ence at the Uni­ver­sity of Kla­gen­furt and are in­te­res­ted in do­ing your Bache­lor's soft­ware pro­ject or writ­ing your Mas­ter's the­sis on a to­pic re­la­ted to Human-Computer In­ter­ac­tion and in­ter­ac­tion de­sign I wel­come you to visit my ADVISING page where you can find more in­for­ma­tion and a list of open projects.
Togehter with my colleagues Martin Hitz and Gerhard Leit­ner I co­or­di­nate the spec­i­ali­za­tion In­ter­ac­tive Sys­tems with­in the Bach­elor's pro­gram App­lied In­for­ma­tics and the spec­i­ali­za­tion Human-Com­pu­ter In­ter­ac­tion with­in the Mas­ter's pro­gram In­for­ma­tics.
BACHELOR'S SPECIALIZATION
More details about the Bach­elor's spec­i­ali­za­ti­on In­ter­ac­tive Sys­tems you find on this IN­FOR­MA­TION PAGE (in Ger­man).
MASTER'S SPECIALIZATION
More details about the Mas­ter's spec­i­ali­za­ti­on Human-Com­pu­ter In­ter­ac­tion you find on this IN­FOR­MA­TION PAGE.
PHD CANDIDATES
If you are in­te­res­ted in pur­su­ing a PhD in Human-Com­pu­ter In­ter­ac­tion in Kla­gen­furt, read about our Doc­toral Pro­gram in In­for­matics and then send me an email with a short de­scrip­tion of your back­ground and in­te­rests so that we can di­scuss the pos­si­bil­i­ties for a co­ope­ration!
