Contextualised interaction in and with our environment

Human behavior is in synergy with the environment we live in. This environment mediates the human experience,interaction and perception.Interfaces are promoting this interaction with our direct surrounding, they give the chance of bridging the gap not only between our physical and digital but also the natural and artificial worlds.

My research focuses on different ways and opportunities to interplay with our surrounding and investigates different opportunities of embedding technology in it. The focus is on the delivery of contextualized information and communication between our surrounding including the people around us. Beside common technologies my research focuses on new opportunities of creating biological interfaces with the help of Synthetic Biology and comparing human created data with biological to create self sustaining and seamless embedded technologies in accordance with our nature to create responsive urban environments.
