About
Hi, I'm Ina, currently pursuing my PhD at the Technical University of Chemnitz in the field of Human-Machine Interaction. My dissertation examines how new driver assistance systems affect drivers' gaze behavior. I gained practical experience in applied psychology through my work with the BMW Group and deepened my knowledge of human-machine interaction as a research assistant at the University of Ulm. During my PhD, I support students from various psychology fields with study design, data analysis, and scientific writing.
