Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
I am an assistant professor for computer science and computer science education with focus on digitization in education at the Ludwigsburg University of Education. Besides, I am a software engineer, entrepreneur, game developer, and trainer. I completed my PhD in computer science at the LEAD Graduate School & Research Network of the University of Tübingen about the efficacy and player experience of the mobile educational game "Prosodiya" (http://prosodiya.com). Prosodiya is a mobile game for German dyslexic primary school children to improve spelling.I am the technical director at the Tübinger Institut für Lerntherapie GmbH (http://til-lerntherapie.de) which develops Prosodiya. Additionally, I am technical director and principal investigator at the medtech startup "TuCAN: Tuebingen Cognitive Assessment for Neuropsychiatric Disorders" (http://tucantest.org) that develops a tablet-based screening for cognitive symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders.
