Since starting my PhD in August 2024, my research has centered on earable technologies, particularly OpenEarable 2.0, and their potential as multimodal platforms for sensing and interaction. With a background in Psychology (B.Sc.) and Social and Economic Data Science (M.Sc.), and as a member of the KD2-School, I investigate applications at the intersection of human-computer interaction, digital health, and biosignal-adaptive systems.

My work began with EarXplore, an interactive research database for systematically exploring and structuring the growing field of earable interaction research. I further develop and evaluate concrete earable applications, including CHOMP, a multimodal system for chewing-side detection, and NeuroClick, which explores tooth-click input as a hands-free interaction technique for neurosurgical workflows. More broadly, I am interested in how earables can evolve beyond audio devices into intelligent platforms for continuous sensing, interaction, and adaptive support.
