Evelyn Muschter

Dr. Evelyn Muschter is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Lifespan Developmental Neuroscience at Technische Universität Dresden, part of the Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-loop (CeTI). Her work focuses on integrating human perception science with technological advancements in the Tactile Internet, particularly addressing tactile and multisensory systems, attention mechanisms, and lifespan developmental aspects of perception. She employs experimental techniques like psychophysics and neurophysiological measurements to bridge neuroscience and technology.

Dr. Muschter holds a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Science from the University of Trento, Italy, and a Master’s in Cognitive Science from the same institution, alongside a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Cleveland State University, USA. Her current research emphasizes human-in-the-loop technology development, including haptic codecs, human-guided machine learning, and evaluation of TaHiL devices.

Key projects involve creating large-scale kinematic datasets (e.g., CeTI-Age) to study aging-related changes in human motion and perception. She collaborates across disciplines to address challenges in tactile signal compression, wearable device design, and inclusive technology standards (e.g., IEEE 1918.1.1-2024). Her work underscores the importance of human-centered design for diverse populations.

Dr. Muschter values CeTI’s interdisciplinary environment, which enables methodological innovation and cross-field collaboration. Future research priorities include exploring how societal adoption of the Tactile Internet evolves over time and across generations.
