About

My name is Alexandra, and after completing my master’s degree in Human Factors, I earned my Ph.D. at BMW on the topic of fatigue in automated driving. During my research, I focused extensively on human perception and cognitive performance, as well as the interaction between humans and automated driving systems. My research focuses primarily on human factors, sensor technology, cognitive psychology, and automated driving, with a particular interest in investigating human states and their influence on safe interaction with technical systems. Through my work at BMW, I was able to gain valuable practical experience in an application-oriented industrial research environment in addition to my academic work. In my free time, I enjoy sports and spend a large part of my leisure time working out.
