Biography

Marc Halbrügge studied Psychology at the University of Osnabrück. After receiving his diploma, he worked on cognitive models of human car drivers using ACT-R at the University of the Armed Forces Munich (Cluster of Excellence "CoTeSys"). Marc gained experience in real world usability problems during a five year stay in the software industry and switched back to academia in 2013 to pursue his PhD at the Quality and Usability Lab.
