I am a research assistant since May 2018. My research interest is using the human himself as input, rather than the conventional mouse or touch interactions. My research allows for new implicit and explicit interaction methods by tracking the user e.g. with a camera.
I am also developing the iOS and macOS software projects for industry clients and different research projects. While some of them are in Objective-C, most of my new projects are written in Swift. Speaking of Swift, I am also an Apple Certified Trainer for App Development with Swift. That's why you will find me teaching in our iOS Application Development and Designing Interactive Systems 2 lectures.
