I am conducting research in the field of cultural mediation using digital methods. I am interested in questions of how historical information must be prepared to generate long-lasting interest among different target groups from the lay sector; how diverse cultural information can be linked to become intuitively searchable through knowledge management systems; and what role places play in this context. Further interests include the examination of different approaches to knowledge transfer, from classic didactic methods and different persuasion methods to different types of storytelling.

I form part of the Space and Place Lab in the EXDIGIT Team and support the development of the Corpus of Place Representations in relation to semantic aspects, textual media, and cultural heritage. Furthermore I am principal investigator of the KuWi- and the Pawn wars project.
