About
Dr. Jakob Karolus is a postdoctoral researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and affiliated with the Embedded Intelligence group at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). He holds a BSc and MSc in Computer Science and Visual Computing from TU Darmstadt and completed his PhD at the University of Stuttgart and LMU Munich.
- Academic background: BSc/MSc in Computer Science, PhD in HCI and AI
- Current roles: Postdoc at LMU, Researcher at DFKI
His research focuses on physiological sensing, proficiency-aware systems, and human-centric AI, with emphasis on electromyography (EMG), biofeedback, and gaze-based interfaces. He develops technologies to enhance human perception and create adaptive interactive systems that respond to cognitive load, muscle activity, and brain signals.
Recent publications explore applications of EMG in musical interfaces (EMPiano, EMGuitar), VR presence (VRsneaky), and ethical AI design. His work intersects human-computer interaction, sensor systems, and augmented cognition.
Notable awards: Best paper award at WOAR '15. Collaborates on European projects like ERC Amplify and the SFB-TRR 161 initiative on cognition-aware visualizations.
