About

I'm a research associate (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI). My work combines Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with Human Factors research, with a particular focus on measuring and modeling mental workload (MWL) — the cognitive demand placed on human operators — and integrating these measures into SysML models and simulations.

Research focus

• Integrating mental workload measurement into MBSE / SysML models in Cameo

• Comparing and validating quantitative MWL methods for systems engineering

• Human-centered design of complex and safety-relevant systems

Background Before my current role, I completed my Bachelor's and Master's in Human-Computer Interaction. During my studies I worked on a range of applied and scientific projects — including a research internship at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Master's thesis on media bias. That HCI foundation still shapes how I approach engineering today: starting from the human, not the tool.
