Profession

About me

I am a researcher of the Bremen Spatial Cognition Center and Cognitive Systems group at the University of Bremen. I am fascinated by ambient intelligence and spatially distributed smart environments. My research aims at developing novel representations and reasoning methods to dynamically connect distinct spaces for communication applications. I am also interested in the concepts and implementation of privacy in this context and in technological systems and applications in general.

Ph.D. Project

My research focuses on methods to apply ambient intelligence (AmI) and qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning (QSTR) to address the spatial gap in distributed work groups in order to enable spontaneous communication. Furthermore, this contains the problem of privacy in the context of ambient intelligence as privacy is regarded as one of the key acceptance factors for ambient intelligence. Thus, the aim of this thesis is twofold: the creation of an ambient intelligence proving the ability to support of spontaneous encounters and communication in a spatially distributed work setting and an adequate method to ensure privacy in this kind of system in order to increase its acceptance.
