Profession
| About me | I am a postdoctoral researcher at the IRTG Semantic Integration of Geospatial Information and the Transregional Collaborative Research Center Spatial Cognition. My goal is to improve the understanding of maps and the interaction with geographic data on small mobile devices. I aim to develop specialized maps and interaction techniques that are efficient for a specific task. During the last years I mainly gained expertise in the fields of small display cartography, schematization, mobile wayfinding assistance, volunteered geographic information, and cognitive representation and reasoning about space. My further research is concerned with the improvement of social interaction and communication in intelligent environments. |

| Interests | The main goal of my research is to enhance mobile wayfinding assistance. I am interested in geographic information visualization beyond the traditional map. I develop schematic maps, highly specialized maps that are adapted to the task, the environment, and the user. schematic maps contain less information but are at the same time more efficient. The selected information is really relevant for a specific task in a specific environment for a given user. My work is based on research in the areas of spatial cognition, wayfinding behavior, place theory, geo-semantic analysis, human-computer-interaction, trajectory analysis, qualitative spatial reasoning and representation. My papers contribute to small display cartography, mobile mapping, spatial cognition, location based services, ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction, and moving object databases. |
