Research Areas: Human Factors / Ethics & Law / Sensory Perception & Cognition

Profile and Research Area

My research focuses on the theoretical description and modeling of complex dynamic systems. My expertise lies in the field of mesoscopic systems for light and electrons. However, my research interests also extend to interdisciplinary questions at the intersection of physics, engineering, and the social sciences. The interaction between humans and technology is a prime example of a complex system, which I intend to study in greater detail at the MeTech Research Center. In mesoscopic systems with typical dimensions in the micrometer range, it proves useful to consider them from two different perspectives: on the one hand, the classical approach in terms of ray or particle dynamics, and on the other, the more precise but far more complex description of particles as waves. Both explanations complement each other (wave-particle correspondence) and thus allow for a deeper understanding, with symmetry considerations also playing an important role. I would like to bring these ideas from theoretical physics to MeTech, particularly within the research focus on Human Factors and its related areas of ethics and law, as well as sensor technology and cognition.
