Prof. Dr.-Ing. Katrin Wolf is a Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology (BHT). Previously, she held professorships at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences and Berlin University of Art and Design, serving as Vice Dean of Research. Her work focuses on novel technologies in HCI, including VR/AR/MR, wearable systems, and interactive exhibitions. She has led projects funded by DFG, BMBF, and EU, such as Real-time Intersensory Discomfort Compensation (DFG) and HapticIO (BMBF). Wolf’s research emphasizes intuitive interaction paradigms for digital tools, with applications in healthcare, cultural education, and smart environments.

• Education: PhD from T-Labs (TU Berlin), Postdoc at University of Stuttgart (2014-2015)
• Key roles: Program Chair (CHI 2021, TEI 2021), General Chair (MuC 2019)

Research interests span haptic feedback, gesture control, and mixed reality interfaces. Notable projects include WINK (gesture wristband) and KIMRA (mixed reality exhibition design). Her work bridges art and science, as seen in exhibitions like 'art meets science' (2014) and 'Media Spaces' (ARS Electronica 2016).

Publications emphasize multimodal interaction, including haptic surfaces, microgestures, and avatar-based self-perception. Awards include recognition through conference leadership and funded projects totaling over €10M in grants.
