Navid Ashrafi

Navid Ashrafi is a PhD candidate and researcher at the joint initiative between Technical University of Berlin and Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, focusing on immersive healthcare applications. His work bridges computer science and healthcare through projects like MIA-PROM, aiming to digitize medical questionnaires using virtual agents to enhance patient experiences.

Navid holds a Master's degree in computer graphics, machine learning, and data analytics from TU Berlin (2022). His research spans immersive reality, XR technologies, and user-centered design, with specific interests in synthetic data generation, eye tracking, and quality-of-experience metrics in healthcare systems.

His publications explore synthetic medical data via GANs and the impact of virtual human characteristics in therapy tools. He teaches C/C++ programming and interdisciplinary media projects at both institutions. Current projects include virtual reality exposure therapy and augmented reality applications in healthcare.

Navid's work is conducted within the Quality and Usability Lab at TU Berlin's MAR 6.031 facility.
