Da Forschung und Wissenschaft für die Öffentlichkeit offenbar
keine Rolle spielen (Merkel & Guttenberg 2011), habe ich mich entschlossen, meine Publikationen zurückzuziehen.

Research interests
- Architectural Expertise & Design Cognition
- Multi-modal analysis of design activity
- Gesture and Design
- Spatial Cognition and Wayfinding
- Visualization of Scientific Concepts
- Integration of Arts & Science (see my ArtDoxa profile for my work as an artist)
The research project [SpaceGuide:ArchWay] investigates human cognition related to orientation and wayfinding in architectural space. The investigation of human navigation in built environments quickly connects to architects and urban planners who fundamentally shape these environments. My research is therefore concerned with the role of wayfinding-related knowledge in the process of architectural design. The main challenge for a primarily text-oriented research tradition, such as cognitive science, is the predominant role of graphic techniues in architectural design. As a consequence, to investigate diagrams, drawing activity, and gesture has become an important aspect in modeling wayfinding design expertise.

SFB Project [ArchWay: Wayfinding Cognition and Architectural Design]
Teaching
- As a teaching assistant:
- Formal methods and programming, Autumn 2003
- For the course in 2003, a formal methods & programming intro script was created. I tried to explain programming with a somewhat wider perspective, that goes beyond the borders of the monitor.
- Cognitive modelling, Summer 2002
- Formal methods and programming, Autumn 2001

Reverse the process of Research, Installation
Traditionally, science collects and analyses data about the world in order to
understand how the world is. Here, the process is reversed: An existing dataset about a real building serves as a basis for an installation, so that the data is placed in the original location.
