About

I have a background in cognitive science and communication studies. In my thesis, I did research into the role of representational technologies in the development and learning of scientific concepts. In the following years I have expanded my field of research to include also:

- the potential for creative augmentation by way of technologies in architectural education
- assessment practices in higher education
- animations in science education
- collaboration by means of virtual actions in on-line computer games
- expertise and technology shifts in medical imaging
- analytical methods for representing embodied actions and dynamic restructurings of a visual field

This somewhat variegated set of topics all stem from my basic interest in communication, the use of technologies, and the development of knowledge. I am continuously working to find new environments, in which these issues are addressed. So in addition to my own discipline education, I have been working in connection to the fields of pragmatics, cultural psychology, architecture, social semiotics, conversation analysis, social studies of science and technology, applied linguistics, workplace studies, anthropology, communication studies, sociology and ethnomethodology.
