I am a Senior UX and User Interface Designer at Cerence AI where I work on innovative next-gen driving user experiences. Prior to this role, I was a UX Research and Innovation Manager at the Urban Software Institute, where I worked on innovative environmental and infrastructure solutions for smart cities and regions, and a postdoctoral researcher and area head of the Human-Computer Interaction group at the Telecooperation Lab, TU Darmstadt. My research focused on haptics for Extended-Reality, exploring interaction concepts for mechanoreception, thermoreception, and proprioception.
