Research Interests:

• Analysis of trajectories and body movement when walking through a bottleneck based on inertial 3D motion capturing and camera data,
• Difference of movement patterns and trajectories when passing a bottleneck individually or in a crowd,
• Influence of measurement methods, spatial structures and flow characteristics on the general shape of the fundamental diagram,
• Comparison of movement patterns and trajectories for differnet cutural backgrounds.

Project related work:

• Coordinating and technical realisation of field studies and large-scale pedestrian laboratory experiments in the project CroMa (“Crowd Management in Verkehrsinfrastrukturen”).
• Adaption and developtment of tracking methods in the software PeTrack to incorporate project specific requirements.

• Since March 2019: Research assistant at IAS-7 in the project CroMa,
• 2019: M.Sc. degree in Climate Physics at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel.
