Research Interests center on geographic information analysis and visualization. Key areas include:

• Spatial cognition in mobile environments
• Context-aware cartographic adaptation
• Eye-tracking for map usability
• Mobile GIS and location-based services
• Visual complexity in thematic mapping
• Attention-guiding geovisualization

Recent Research Trends demonstrate a consistent focus on adaptive map design. His 2024 publications address AI-driven personalization, color theory applications, and psychological factors in navigation. Earlier works (2023-2001) explore contextual adaptation, user experience metrics, and foundational principles of mobile cartography.

Labs & Collaborations include contributions to the University of Zurich's MapOnTap project, which investigates context-based map adaptation. His work bridges traditional cartography with modern digital challenges, particularly in mobile and ubiquitous mapping environments.
