Research Focus
My research focuses on creating knowledge and technologies that improve productivity and well-being in everyday work life. Specifically, I am currently researching the potentials of (1) EEG headphone sensors, and (2) how various sensors can be used to detect and support the so-called flow experience.
EEG Headphone Sensors
How cool would it be if your current headphones could actively improve your daily productivity and well-being? This reality might not be that far away! Wearable EEG systems are continuously being developed to monitor brain activity and support IT-users' workload, flow and fatigue in everyday life. To make these research practices more open and the technologies more available to people around the world, we have recently developed a headphone-based EEG system entirely out of 3D-printed and open-source components.
If you are interested, you can contribute to the improvement of this system by identifying a critical performance factor and develop and test an innovative solution for it! Let me know what you have in mind!

Flow Experience Detection
Flow ("being in the zone") describes a state of complete concentration in which thoughts come as if by themselves and in which one forgets time and oneself.
Thanks to new developments in the fields of NeuroIS, affective computing, and brain-computer interfaces, new ways to continuously capture flow states are emerging. However, more research is needed to learn how physiological data from body and mind can capture flow states.
You can participate in this research by using physiological data (e.g., EEG, ECG, or EDA) to predict flow with the latest methods in artificial intelligence (machine learning). What would you suggest to try?
