• 2025, Digging through the Virtual Sand of Time: Development and Evaluation of Hetepheres Tomb VR   , discusses the value of virtual-reality museum experiences on the example of "Hetepheres Tomb". This VR app was created as a joined effort of the University Tübingen and the Giza Project at Harvard University, to demonstrate the opportunities, identify challenges and present learnings of using new technologies together with digitalization.
• 2025, Temple tax and dove Trader: An interactive VR application at the interface between university teaching and museum exhibition   , describes the digital recreation of Herod's Second Temple as part of a numismatic-themed VR application using ExPresS XR.

The core of my master thesis was the development of ExPresS XR (see above).
Beside it's development the opportunities of such easy to use toolkits and workflows, cross-platform development using OpenXR and smartphone photogrammetry for digitizing exhibitions were explored.

My Bachelor-Thesis was about integrating an Bluetooth hear rate and motion sensor in a web-interface for the SSTeP KiZ project. It's aim was to provide a solution for tele-psychotherapy for young adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

During my studies I worked as a tutor for the courses:

• Computer Science II (German: Informatik 2), teaching the basics of Java.
• Introduction to Technical Computer Science (German: Einführung in die technische Informatik), about basics of encoding, boolean algebra, network synthesis and electro-physics.
• Theoretical Computer Science I (German: Theoretische Informatik I; ehem. Algorithmen), teaching students about efficient Algorithms and Data Structures.
• Godot - Computer Games Made Easy (German: Godot - Computerspiele leicht gemacht), an introduction for the Godot Engine.

During that time I created my own exercises and sample projects for my tutorials. So that they do not get lost in nirvana I've created a GitHub-Repository to make them accessible for everyone.

* Note that the materials were created independently from the courses listed above and should not be associated with them. Content from any lectures were removed to the best of my knowledge.

• Elaboration: Approximate String Matching: For the seminar "Combinatorial Algorithms" I elaborated the paper "Approximate String Matching - A Fast Bit-Vector Approach" by Gene Myers.
    Original Paper on ACM.org     •       Elaboration  - PDF
• Elaboration: Three Combinatorical Problems on the n-cube and n-cube-grid: For the seminar "Graph Algorithms" I elaborated the german paper "Über drei kombinatorische Probleme an n-dimensionalen Würfel und Würfelgitter" by Gerhard Ringel was elaborated, cleared up and translated, making it more accessible for english speakers.
    Original Paper on Springer.com     •       Elaboration  - PDF
• Graph Drawing Contest 2021 Participation: For a course we participated in the Graph Drawing Contest 2021. We used yWorks and JavaScript to automatically draw a graph.
  Sadly we did not not make it in the top three, but that was only because there were no points style:) Watch out the pdf is made for printing, so it is quite big!   Onion Graph PDF     •       Contest Report  - Springer.com
• Galou is Back, a solver and visualization for the problem "Galou is Back" of ACM ICPC 2007.   GitHub Repository
