Please note that the topics are just a minor selection of theses available in our research group. Please contact Prof. Müller-Birn for additional topics.

Here is a list of topics we a generally interested in. Please contact the researchers directly. 

  • Exploring Graphical User Interface Design in the Context of Healthcare: Applying State-of-the-Art HCI Approaches and Qualitative User Studies for Prototype Development (Peter Sörries)
  • Investigating human-AI collaboration with a focus on factors or methods that influence the performance of human-AI collaboration compared to human and AI performance alone. Many topics have not been fully explored, such as comparisons of explainable AI methods and situational factors like time pressure. Therefore, a significant component of the thesis should consist of an empirical study (Ulrike Schäfer)
  • Exploring Topics in Human-AI Collaboration, Explainable AI (XAI), Responsible AI, and Human-Centered Data Science. This includes: Investigating the impact of explanations or cognitive forcing functions on the performance of human-AI teams compared to individual human and AI performance, facilitating the development of accurate mental models about AI systems and their error boundaries for human users, Identifying the requirements for effective explanations in AI systems, mitigating bias and evaluating fairness in AI algorithms and models, or generating synthetic datasets for research and training purposes. (Lars Sipos)

  • Exploring the Influence of Design Decisions on Cognition and Vice Versa: A Mixed-Methods Approach Combining Qualitative User Tests, Interviews, or Workshops with Quantitative Experiments or Surveys (David Leimstädtner)
