Wayix
Wayix is an AI-powered navigation system for wheelchair users. It builds a personal mobility profile through natural conversation. Routes adapt in real time based on user readiness and changing conditions. Guidance is delivered across three coordinated layers: a mobile interface for context and control, an always-on voice agent for hands-free interaction, and ground projection that embeds spatial cues directly onto the path - reducing cognitive load and enabling safer, more confident navigation.

LINQ. Fully integrated lab automation platform
LINQ redefines lab automation for modern science. Where legacy systems are rigid, hardware-bound, and code-dependent, LINQ enables scientists to design and run workflows through an interface built around scientific intent, not physical constraints. Open, modular and adaptive, LINQ scales across instruments and labs, autonomously orchestrating execution while involving scientists only when human judgement is needed. LINQ accelerates discovery and the pathways to new treatments and cures.

Hi:Stories – next door
How can the Nazi era be made accessible and conveyed to young people aged 14 to 19 in a lasting way?
This question is explored in the master's thesis 'Hi:Stories', which examines design and didactic strategies for developing a contemporary culture of remembrance in German-speaking countries. The focus is on how digital and hybrid formats can engage young people in their everyday lives, sharpen their historical awareness, and strengthen democratic values.
