International teaching and exchange network spanning Brazil, Japan, Thailand and India, with regional partners in Hamm and Lippstadt.

Role: Subproject lead · Funding: EFRE (EU / State of North Rhine-Westphalia)

Immersive training for theatre technology, a domain where apprentices must learn high-risk rigging and stage-machinery procedures that are expensive and dangerous to practise physically.

Role: Consortium coordinator · Funding: EFRE (EU / State of North Rhine-Westphalia)

XR training and digital twins for critical industries, including wind-turbine maintenance, with five industry and academic partners.

Role: Subproject lead · Funding: ZIM (BMWE)

Contact-free monitoring of vital signs and movement in home care settings, designed so that it neither stigmatises nor burdens the person being monitored.

Role: Subproject lead · Funding: Innovationsprogramm für Geschäftsmodelle und Pionierlösungen (BMWE)

Tooling and business models that let non-specialists create XR events, lowering the entry barrier for cultural institutions and SMEs.

Role: Sole applicant · Funding: HSHL

Equipment funding for the Body Interaction Lab at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences.

Role: Subproject lead · Funding: HORIZON Action Grant (European Union)

Dynamic and responsible digital twins for extended reality: building twins that stay synchronised with the physical world and are evaluated for user experience, not only for geometric fidelity. Two innovations from this project were recognised as Key Innovator entries on the European Commission's Innovation Radar in 2024.

A junior research group on mobility and participation of very old people in rural areas, testing a tablet-supported health intervention in a randomised trial with GPS-measured mobility as the endpoint.

Role: Subproject lead · Funding: Innovationsfonds (G-BA)

A tablet-based intervention for outpatient dementia care, supporting guideline-based treatment planning for general practitioners and disease management for patients and their relatives.

Role: Sole applicant · Funding: GESOBAU AG

Contract research for GESOBAU AG: workshops for concept development.

Role: Consortium coordinator · Funding: JPI More Years, Better Lives (EU / BMBF)

Adaptive speech training for older people with aphasia: software that detects impaired language ability and personalises interface and interaction logic accordingly, validated in a control-group study.

Role: Sole applicant · Funding: Augletics GmbH

Contract research for Augletics GmbH on the motivation of rowing-machine users.

Role: Sole applicant · Funding: TU Berlin

Post-doctoral fellowship at Technische Universität Berlin.

Role: Subproject lead · Funding: GKV-Spitzenverband

A transferable model for technology-supported care and activation in residential dementia care, developed and scientifically evaluated in use.

Role: Project lead · Funding: Bernstein Focus (BMBF)

Neurotechnologies for improving intuitive and efficient human–machine interaction. The Bernstein Focus: Neurotechnology Berlin brought together a multidisciplinary faculty to apply insights from basic neuroscience directly to real-world applications, with a focus on non-invasive „brain reading" techniques.

Within it, project A3 „Neuro-Usability": Neurotechnologies for Human-Machine Interaction used biosignal sensors to measure and model aspects of usability: efficiency, satisfaction and joy of use. This is where my psychophysiological measurement approach originates.
