Kilian Bahnsen

Kilian Bahnsen is a Researcher at the Institute for Human-Computer-Media within the Faculty of Human Sciences at Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Germany. His work focuses on psychological ergonomics and human-computer interaction.

Education:

• B.Sc. Psychology
• M.Sc. Psychology
• All studies completed at Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg

Research Focus: Bahnsen investigates how augmented reality (AR) cues affect task resumption after interruptions in both digital and physical environments. His work explores:

• Human factors in safety-critical systems
• User experience design for fundamental values
• Inclusive design principles
• Mixed reality interface reliability

This research has direct applications in improving workflow efficiency across domains with frequent interruptions.

Publication Trends: Recent work examines AR cue reliability (100%, 86%, 64%) in task resumption scenarios, comparing manual gesture placement vs. automatic cues across computer-based and tangible sorting tasks. Studies involve large-scale experiments (N=83, N=38) with measurable performance metrics.

Teaching Roles:

• Bachelor: Human-Computer Systems (Usability, Software Ergonomics, User-Centered Design Methods)
• Master: Human-Computer Interaction (Human Factors specialization)

Research Environment: Works within the Psychological Ergonomics Team at the university's Hubland North Campus, collaborating with experts including Prof. Dr. Jörn Hurtienne and Dr. Tobias Grundgeiger.
