Hi, I'm a computer scientist interested in interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of computer science, electrical engineering, and experimental psychology. My research focuses on eye movement analysis for context recognition, multi-modal human-computer interaction, and pervasive healthcare applications.

I'm a postdoctoral research associate in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, funded by a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany.
I'm also a part-time research associate and co-leader of a research group at the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, United Kingdom, and a Junior Research Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge, where I co-organise the lunchtime seminar talks.

I'm holding a PhD in Information Technology and Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland (supervisor: Prof. Gerhard Tröster).
I received my MSc. (Dipl.-Inform.) in Computer Science from the Technical University of Karlsruhe (TH), Germany, in 2006, focusing on embedded systems, robotics and biomedical engineering.
