I am a PhD student and Project Assistant in the Visual Data Science Lab at the Johannes Kepler Universtity Linz in Austria under the supervision of Marc Streit. My research focuses on interaction provenance using dimensionality reduction techniques and onboarding for interactive visualizations.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien emphasizing on Rehabilitation Engineering and my Master's degree in Human-Centered Computing at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Hagenberg, where I worked on the identification of cognitive load using physiological measurement techniques such as the heart-rate variability (HRV). As I had grown increasingly interested in the perception of multidimensional visualization techniques, I decided to transition to visualization/sivual analytics research for my PhD. I am an external lecturer for Management Reporting und Visual Analytics at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Steyr at the Institut of Accounting, Controlling, and Financial Management. Furthermore, I hold workshops in the field of state-of-the-art reporting at the Controller Institut GmbH. Prior to studying Computer Science, I was a music performer for 11 years. I started singing, dancing, and acting at 10 and still practice playing the piano as a creative outlet.

The main opjective of this course is to convey the basics of a perception-optimized reporting system. What is the state-of-the art of reporting tools? How do I best customize reports to my audience? Contents and messages are transformed into meaningful reports.
