Habilitation for Mirjam Augstein
With her research, she is helping to make digital interaction more intelligent and user-friendly - a valuable contribution to the future of human-technology interaction.
In her habilitation thesis entitled “Personalized and Collaborative Interaction - Individuals and Teams in Human-Centered Computing”, Mirjam Augstein deals intensively with the various phases of the human-centered design process and covers the specific topics of personalized and collaborative interaction. From the analysis of the context of use of interactive systems to requirements elicitation, design, implementation and evaluation, the focus is on the user. In her habilitation thesis, Mirjam Augstein presents methodological contributions as well as conceptual, empirical and technical ones. For example, she describes a human-centered taxonomy of interaction modalities and devices, a study on (“involuntary”) remote collaboration, or prototypes of novel interaction devices for people with disabilities.
With her habilitation, Mirjam Augstein has achieved the highest academic qualification and demonstrated her ability to conduct independent scientific research and teaching in the entire breadth of her subject “Human-Computer Interaction”. As head of the PEEC research group at the Research Center Hagenberg (FH Upper Austria), she can look back on numerous awards, publications and projects.We look forward to many more exciting impulses from her research!
