Research Interests: Specializing in anthropomorphic design of AI systems, generative AI for knowledge dissemination, and design science methodology. His work addresses challenges in laypeople’s AI acceptance, informal caregiving support applications, and digital choice environment optimization.

Publication Trends: Recent articles emphasize anthropomorphic conversational agents (2025), autonomous public transport interfaces (2025), and digital choice environments (2025). Earlier works focus on design science research methodology (2024) and unlearning support systems (2023-2024).

Scientific Contributions:

• 2025: Best paper at International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction
• 2024: Systematic questionnaire framework for DSR
• 2023: Best paper award at RVI23

Academic Collaborations: Works with researchers from Hochschule Hannover, European Research Center for Information Systems (Münster), and Roskilde University. Involved in projects like HULLS, Digi Hoch X, and LINGA Weeks initiatives.
