Sebastian worked as a research assistant from May 2018 to April 2024. His research involved using the human himself as input, rather than the conventional mouse or touch interactions. These research projects converge in a PhD thesis on new implicit and explicit interaction methods for mobile devices that become possible through visual tracking of facial features.
He also developed multiple iOS and macOS software projects for industry clients and different research projects. While some of them are in Objective-C, most new projects are written in Swift. Speaking of Swift, he is also an Apple Certified Trainer for App Development with Swift. Therefore, he taught in multiple iterations of the iOS Application Development and Designing Interactive Systems 2 lectures.
