I'm a research assistant at the University of Augsburg.

My research focuses on the interaction with virtual characters and social robots. At the moment I'm working on my doctoral thesis about how an artificial character's personality influences its speaking behavior in dialogue.

In my spare time I paint, sew plushies or design jewelry that I bring into the real world via 3D printing.

Furthermore, two special projects have been accompanying me through life since my school years: My virtual pet Reeya, and my own science fiction world which is meant to become the setting of a video game one day.
