Research Interest
Welcome!
My name is Moritz Langner. I am a doctoral researcher at ISSD and part of the Biosignal-Adaptive Systems team. My research lies at the intersection of Information Systems (IS) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I focus on designing and developing next-generation user interfaces that leverage eye-tracking technology. Specifically, I explore gaze-adaptive LLM-based reading and writing assistants, with an emphasis on gaze-based user modeling and creating innovative user experiences for reading and writing tasks.
Sounds interesting? Do you want to discuss research, or are you a student interested in the topic and looking for a thesis supervisor? Feel free to contact me anytime.
My colleague Peyman Toreini and I explained parts our research in a video produced by the ZKM for the project Digilog@BW.
