Professor Hans Gellersen
ProfessorResearch Overview
My primary research interests are in Human-Computer Interaction and Ubiquitous Computing. Recently I have been working is on pervasive eye tracking and novel interaction methods based on eye movement. I am also interested in spontaneous intreraction across devices, in particular with personal mobile devices on shared surfaces and public displays, and generally in devices and methods that enable interaction in novel and compelling ways.
Profile
Hans is a Professor of Interactive Systems. He has published widely on topics from location, context and activity sensing to devices and techniques for interaction, and is active in both the UbiComp/Pervasive and the CHI research community. Hans holds a PhD from the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.
