معرفی
Pascal Knierim is a researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany. He completed his PhD at the same institution in 2020 with a dissertation titled "Enhancing interaction in mixed reality: the impact of modalities and interaction techniques on the user experience in augmented and virtual reality." His research focuses on human-computer interaction, particularly in virtual and augmented reality environments, with an ORCID identifier 0000-0001-9578-9953.
Knierim's research interests span virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, ubiquitous computing, and extended reality systems. He has made significant contributions to understanding user interaction in immersive environments, privacy considerations in VR/AR, biometric identification using thermal imaging, and universal interaction frameworks. His work often combines technical innovation with user-centered design principles, resulting in numerous publications at top-tier venues including CHI, MUM, UbiComp, and IEEE Pervasive Computing. Recent work has explored content blocking in extended reality, social anxiety in VR proxemics, user awareness of privacy permissions, and framework development for ubiquitous research preservation.
Knierim has collaborated extensively with researchers such as Thomas Kosch, Florian Alt, and Albrecht Schmidt, forming a productive research group within LMU Munich's computer science department. He has also contributed to the academic community through editorial roles for major conferences including Mensch und Computer 2023 and the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM 2023), demonstrating leadership within his research community. His research demonstrates a strong commitment to both theoretical advancement and practical applications of immersive technologies, with particular attention to user experience, privacy, and accessibility considerations.
