Hi, I'm Nicolas.

I am a researcher and Ph.D. student at Zuse Institute Berlin exploring the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Agentic AI.

My Ph.D. supervisor is Prof. Dr. Sebastian Pokutta, co-supervised by Dr. Jana Gonnermann-Müller.

My goal is to understand and improve how people collaborate with AI systems in applied contexts like robotics, AR, and VR. Recent developments in AI offer great opportunities but need to be studied and understood in depth.
