Python-based simulation framework for Airborne Laser Bathymetry (ALB) using photon tracing and photon mapping techniques. The project focuses on modeling underwater optical behavior and generating simulated sensor data for scientific analysis and evaluation.

Assistive headphone control system developed as part of the AutARK research project to support autistic individuals in shared work environments. The system integrates Bluetooth-based Active Noise Cancelling control, customizable masking sounds, and wakeword-driven speech interaction to improve focus and reduce sensory overload.

Master's thesis project focused on accessible indoor navigation for blind users. Developed a routing algorithm based on OpenStreetMap data and implemented tactile route visualization on a haptic display to support orientation inside buildings.

Bachelor's thesis investigating tactile patterns for directional guidance on pin-array displays. Conducted a user study with blind participants to evaluate the effectiveness of different haptic interaction concepts. The work was later presented at HCI International 2026.

Traffic simulation project focused on modeling realistic vehicle behavior and traffic flow dynamics. The simulation explores concepts such as vehicle movement, lane interactions, and congestion behavior, with a strong emphasis on 3D visualization.
