Curriculum Vitae

From June 2004 till March 2008 Hendrik Witt was a senior research scientist at the Center for Computing Technologies (TZI) at University of Bremen (Germany).

After finishing his studies in 2004 Hendrik joined TZI's Wearable Computing Lab. as a research scientist and Ph.D. candidate. His research interests include human-computer interaction (HCI) issues for the wearable and mobile computing paradigm as well as context recognition. Currently, Hendrik its working in the EU funded IST project wearIT@work.

In December 2007 Hendrik got his Ph.D. from University of Bremen. His thesis, supervised by Prof. Dr. Otthein Herzog and Prof. Dr. Thad Starner, was about human-computer interfaces for wearable computers and particularly about the design and evaluation of interfaces for dual-task situations. Within his thesis Hendrik developed the so-called HotWire apparatus, a primary task simulator for user interface evaluations in a controlled laboratory environment as well as the WUI-Toolkit, a model-driven software framework to generate wearable user interfaces based on an abstract and device independent model.

Back in 2004 Hendrik had finished his studies in computer science at the University of Bremen. Topic of his Diploma thesis was the development of an open architecture for location-based services (LBS) and an accompanied business model.
