I’m truly honoured to share that my dissertation, "Mitigating Dark Patterns Through Responsible Design – Ethical Design Considerations for User-Centred Technologies", has been awarded the “Thematischer Preis” of the Bremer Studienpreis 2025. 🥳

#CHI2025 is kicking of in #Yokohama 🌸 and what a fantastic location to host and get to visit! Very happy to be here 🎊

Each year, I am impressed by the size of this community and the great energy it holds! Looking forward to a fascinating and inspiring week!

This year was my first time at #MUM2024, and what an incredible community and conference it was! Thanks to all who made it happen in #Stockholm. ❄️🇸🇪

Not only did I co-host a workshop, but present two papers. And it still doesn't stop here: We received an honourable mention for one of them! 🏆

🚅Again in a train to the airport for my final conference of the year and what better destination than #Stockholm! At #MUM2024, I get to co-host a workshop and present two papers.. did not expect this academic year to wrap with such a wonderful opportunity! Thanks to all!

During our workshop on Responsible and Ethical AI in CUI Technologies, with Nima Zargham, Rainer Malaka, and our Digital Media Lab, we had the great pleasure of welcoming a fantastic group of researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, University College Dublin, and Stockholm University. 🎉

Yesterday, I was fortunate to present my work on #darkpatterns and #responsibledesign at #TU/e. Thank you so much, Minha Lee, for having me. As always, it’s been a joy catching up and thinking about how to give people more agency when engaging with design. Hope to meet you soon again!

Didnt even realise: Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #986,810!

🎓Although a few days have already passed, I still cannot quite grasp it. Last Friday, I defended my dissertation at the University of Bremen.

I'm deeply touched that I got to share this incredible moment with many friends, colleagues, and my family. Thank you all very much for being part of this! 💛

After what was an amazing 3 years, I submitted my dissertation at the University of Bremen, Digital Media Lab Bremen, titled: "Mitigating Dark Patterns Through Responsible Design - Ethical Design Considerations for Responsible Design" 🎉

Für das #Bundesgesundheitsblatt haben wir über die möglichen Gefahren und Probleme durch #darkpatterns in digitalen #Gesundheitsanwendungen geschrieben. Großer Dank gilt meinen Co-Autoren Gian-Luca Savino, Johannes Schöning und Rainer Malaka! 🙌

Based on these ethical caveats, we propose the #CUI Expectation Cycle to address the gap between #user and #CUI expectations. The model adopts Norman's gulf of execution and evaluation to bridge the Expectation Gap.

After 6 years, my 2nd gen iPad Pro's battery life had dwindled. Apple wouldn't swap it, only offering device replacement, which I found not very environmentally friendly and decided to fix it myself. Now I am even more grateful for right-to-repair regulations! Here's to another 6 years for my iPad!
