I am a professor of software engineering in the Computer Science Department at the University of Iceland in Reykjavík. My work includes:

• research on human-computer interaction and human aspects in software engineering
• teaching undergraduate and graduate classes
• advising graduate and doctoral students
• publishing my research and project work
• serving on conference committees and review boards
• managing the CS Department's study programs, outreach activities and operations (2020-2024)

I received my doctoral degree from the University of Leipzig and my Diplom in applied computer science with engineering emphasis from the University of Dortmund. As a post-doc, I led the mobile interaction research group at the University of Duisburg-Essen's Ruhr Institute for Software Technology (paluno), served as acting head of the Software Engineering and Information Systems Chair at Chemnitz University of Technology, and worked as research manager at adesso SE. Off work, I enjoy traveling and photography.
