معرفی
Anna Maria Feit is a Professor at Saarland University's Saarland Informatics Campus, leading the Computational Interaction Group (CIX) since January 2021. She previously served as a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich (2018-2020) and completed her doctoral studies at Aalto University in Helsinki, where she focused on optimizing text input methods.
Her research centers on computational interaction, developing algorithmic and mathematical methods to optimize and adapt user interfaces. She specializes in using optimization techniques to automate UI design processes, particularly in text input systems and adaptive interfaces that respond to users' changing contexts, environments, and capabilities. Her work bridges Human-Computer Interaction with methods from Machine Learning, Optimization, and Data Science to create intelligent interfaces that seamlessly integrate with real-world usage scenarios.
Feit's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to top HCI venues, with recent work focusing on gaze-based assessment of AI reliance, adaptive XR interfaces, and ergonomic 3D interaction design. Her research has evolved from foundational text input optimization to increasingly sophisticated adaptive systems that consider multiple contextual factors simultaneously.
- SIGCHI outstanding dissertation award
- Best Paper Award at CHI'21
- Work featured on cover of Communications of the ACM (2021)
As leader of the Computational Interaction Group, Feit has organized academic events including the 6th Summer School on Computational Interaction at Saarland University in 2022. Her group collaborates with institutions worldwide and is part of the Center for Perspicuous Computing (CPEC) since 2023. The CIX group maintains an active research agenda with publications spanning computational design methods, human-AI interaction, and user behavior modeling.
