What you can find here.
Hi, my name is Christian Kray, and I am working at the Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi) at the University of Münster. Until recently, I was employed as a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing Science and the Digital Institute at Newcastle University. I also worked in Culture Lab. This is my personal home page describing my research interests, listing my publications and providing information about my teaching. Any opinions and views expressed here are my own, and do not necessarily reflect those of any of the institutions I am or was involved in. Click on the corresponding buttons in the navigation bar above to learn more about these topics. Please note that since I'm currently in the process of fully moving to Münster, this page is not fully up to date yet. There is a preliminary version of the web site for my new lab available here: sitcom lab.
A bit about me.
My main research interests are in the areas of mobile and ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. I am particularly interested in visuo-spatial interaction (e.g. using proximity regions around devices to trigger certain actions), in accessible interfaces (e.g. that can be used by users with different abilities and backgrounds) and in evaluation methods for mobile and ubiquitous systems. I joined the ifgi in April 2011, after having worked at Newcastle University from 2005 to 2011. Prior to coming to Newcastle, I spent some time in Hans Gellersen's group at Lancaster University. Before that, I worked at the German Research Center for AI, and got my PhD and MSc from Saarland University back in Germany.
