Expertise

My general research interest is in the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). More specifically I am interested in affective computing (designing emotion-aware user interfaces/applications), social and cross-cultural psychology (understanding inter and intra cultural differences in human emotions with the specific focus on the societal role and impact of these emotions). I am also intrested in understanding the needs of people beloging to special age groups (e.g. Children & Elderly) and designing technologies for them. Currently In my doctoral thesis, I am working on:

- Investigating the cross-cultural aspects of human emotions
- Developing/Tailoring different methods for emotion production and perception (e.g. using games as a method for emotion elicitation)
- Improving the Human<->Computer interaction by understanding human emotions across cultures in a better way
