Description
This course series covers a multitude of carefully selected time management methods and shows you the concepts behind the methods step-by-step - plus - what needs to be done such that you can apply these method for yourself. Knowledge of psychological effects, the bio-rhythm, as well as coping with motivational pitfalls (or one's weaker self) complement the method training. At the beginning, the relationship between time management and self-management creates the right mindset, so that the later use of the methods does not result into a challenging task itself and ultimately costs more time than it saves. Important plus: This course is not only about different methods of time management as such, but also about the interleaving of the methods for a more general and all-inclusive self and time management for yourself as well as in a team.

As an entrepreneur in IT, computer scientist and thanks to my experience in teaching and research at university, I collected a wide range of valuable knowledge that I am glad to share with you today.
My research interest is the field of software customisability, adaptivity and accessibility with a strong focus on user interaction with robotics (human-robot interaction as part of the human-computer interaction research community). Thus, I am currently working on strategies that help engineering assistants robots for people with special needs, e.g. the elderly or people with impairments. As robots are continuously advancing regarding their hardware, the software side is more and more becoming the bottleneck in this field which motivates me even more to work in that area. One crucial aspect that stands out here because of a very active research community, is the need for powerful voice interaction interfaces and systems that are able to really understand their users. Overall, a very dynamic research area with super motivating and interesting challenges.
