senior track associate

I have a broad interest in people-technology relations, but particularly in technology’s role in social interactions. I have a PhD on Social Touch Technology and love to translate theoretical knowledge into practice and philosophize about the implications. I am also co-founder of startup House of Haptics where I work on haptic technology to connect people.

A graphic design graduate with a passion for all things visual. I'm interested in storytelling through design and creating experiences while exploring different media. I have no preferred platform regarding digital or physical as long as it is the more meaningful one for the project (or both together!), makes the user feel something and triggers change. I believe in small actions and changing individuals rather than changing the world. I love users, love design, love photography, cheese, the mountains, and the sun.

Up until now I have mainly focused on the theoretical side of Media. Therefore I’m excited to be working together with people from different fields of expertise, who can offer me new perspectives. I want to learn more about practical skills and gain a better understanding on programming and design.

As our society is going through the rapid digitalization now, my research interest lies in how to preserve or even transcend the seemingly lost physicality, can we make our environment smarter without making ourselves stupider?

His interests include memetics, internet geographies, technical utopias/dystopias and depictions of e-governance. His overarching goal is to bridge critical theory with digital practice and to limit accessibility gaps and hurdles to open access to knowledge.
