Maria Rauschenberger

Prof. Dr. Maria Rauschenberger is a Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer, affiliated with the Faculty of Technology, Electrical Engineering and Informatics and the Digital Media department. Her research focuses on Human-Machine Interaction, Gamification, and Accessibility in Technology, with a strong emphasis on applying Machine Learning and Voice User Interface (VUI) design principles in educational and healthcare contexts. She leads projects such as dyslexia screening via gamified web applications and context-aware VUI evaluation frameworks.

Education details are not explicitly listed, but her extensive publications (e.g., Google Scholar profile) highlight advanced work in UX measurement, AI ethics, and inclusive technology. She actively collaborates on EU-funded initiatives like the Futur.A project, exploring future educational environments. Her work bridges HCI practices with real-world applications, such as VR accessibility improvements and pandemic-era social media analysis.

Recent research trends include VUI contextualization studies, ChatGPT-driven analysis of teacher behavior, and gamification frameworks for higher education. She promotes value-based learning through agile methodologies and has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles since 2011. No awards are listed, but her prolific output indicates significant academic influence.

Her lab develops tools like UEQ+ questionnaires for UX validation and mobile apps targeting dyslexia screening. She advises on technology policy for accessibility standards and maintains an open-source styleguide for enterprise software design. Current projects emphasize small data clustering techniques in healthcare ML applications and cross-cultural VUI risk assessments.
