My main interest lies in the modeling of surprise and expectations. In my thesis I am particularly interested in expectations that link physical and functional attributes of control elements in human-machine interaction. I study these in the context of design decisions for smart phone and tablet user interfaces. Another research interest is the modeling of general activation and inhibiton processes.

Research interests

• Cognitive modeling of surprise and expectations (especially with ACT-R)

• User modeling within smartphone-apps

• Decision making and decision heuristics 

• Agent-based modeling
