Research Associate
I have been working as a research assistant at the Interactive Media Lab since June 2025. Prior to that, I was involved in various projects at the lab during my studies, where I focused primarily on mixed reality. The focus of my current research, however, is on non-rectangular and non-planar displays and their possible applications in data visualization. I am investigating what data visualization might look like in a future where displays are used in a new variety of forms and embedded in our environment.
