Christian Graf

From late 1999 until early 2006, I studied Computervisualistics at the University of Magdeburg, with a minor in psychology and educational science. My studies focused on usability and human computer interaction; other areas of interest included visualisation & graphics, databases, project management and creativity. I wrote my project thesis about interaction in augmented reality at the Human Interface Technology Lab New Zealand and his Diplom thesis about emotions in the human-computer-interaction at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Graphics Research in Rostock. I received my Diplom degree in Computervisualistics in early 2006. After graduation I worked in the Requirements and Usability Department of the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Requirements Engineering as usability engineer and consultant for almost 2 years. My main project was about how to design joy-of-use into the human-computer interaction. Before joining CoSy, Christian was a member of the "International Graduate Research Group for Cross-Modal Interactions in Natural and Artificial Cognitive Systems" at the University of Hamburg from 2008 for two years.
