Prof. Dr. Tanja D?ring has been an interim professor for Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Bremen since October 2021.

Her research focuses on tangible interaction and materiality, gesture interaction, mobile interaction, interaction in VR/AR, and interactive surfaces. She has diverse experience in practical and applied research projects in which she has designed and realized systems for various application domains, such as healthcare, automotive, sustainability, education, and culture. Methodologically, her research combines user-centered design approaches, including prototyping, participatory design, usability engineering as well as qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods. Her dissertation on "A Materials Perspective on HCI. Case Studies on Tangible, Gestural, and Ephemeral User Interfaces" was awarded the dissertation prize for outstanding results in the research of computer science applications in social systems by the CSCW section of the German Informatics Society and the International Institute for Socio-Informatics. Her paper "A Design Space for Ephemeral User Interfaces," published in 2013, recently received the 10-Years Impact Award of the ACM TEI 2023.

Tanja is the chair of the GI section "Tangible Interaction". It is involved in organizational and program committees, e.g. as Workshop Chair of Mensch und Computer 24, as Program Chair of ACM TEI 24 and MUM 22, as Local Chair of ACM CHI 23, or as Short Paper Chair of Mensch und Computer 22, as well as Associate Chair and Program Committee for international journals and conferences. From 2008 to 2011, she was a research assistant at the Chair of Pervasive Computing and User Interface Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Tanja D?ring studied computer science and art history in Hamburg and Valladolid (Spain).
