Marie Muehlhaus is a PhD student within the HCI Lab at Saarland University. She has received her MSc and BSc degree in Computer Science from Saarland University. During her Master studies, she investigated the social acceptability of gesture-controlled hair interfaces.
Her research explores how to design interactions between humans and wearable robots, such as wearable robotic limbs and exoskeletons, through low-fidelity prototyping and empirical user studies. She especially focuses on how we can leverage the human body as input and output modality to design seamless and natural human-robot interfaces. She is furthermore interested in proprioceptive feedback and how it can be used enhance experiences both in the physical and virtual world.
