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 researched on the social acceptability of gesture-controlled hair interfaces.
Her research explores the intersection of wearable robotics – such as exoskeletons and supernumerary robotic limbs – and empirical user studies. She is particularly interested in understanding the interaction between users and wearable robots and developing accessible, low-fidelity prototyping approaches that lower the barrier of entry for other researchers and makers interested in this domain.
