Sebastian Feger is a Full Professor at Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences. He received his PhD on research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX) at LMU Munich where he also worked for four years as a postdoctoral researcher.
Sebastian's key research threads include usable privacy, innovative smart home interactions, smart tangibles, enhancing low-fidelity tangible prototypes through Augmented Reality,
and data management for open science.
His doctoral research focused on the intersection between data science and open science, supporting and motivating
reproducible science practices through the design of suitable interactive tools. Sebastian conducted three years of his
doctoral research at CERN, the European Organization for
Nuclear Research. CERN is a leading laboratory in one of the
most data-intensive branches of science. Sebastian was further involved in the
design of CERN tools for assessing and communicating the safety of IoT devices. Sebastian received
the German federal Wolfgang Gentner Scholarship for his
research. Before embarking on his PhD journey, he
supported SAP Research Switzerland in an EU project on
infrastructure for autonomous vehicles and worked as a CERN
fellow on the design and implementation of a software framework
for controlling and testing radiation-resistant hardware chips.
