"Be a sunshine, even when the weather conditions don’t permit it" [Zeynep Tuncer]

Welcome to my homepage - Who am I?
My name is Zeynep Tuncer. Currently, I am a Professor and head of Media Informatics (Master), Human-Computer-Interaction (Master) and Digital Media (Bachelor) and also Ombudsperson to adhere to the rules of good scientific practice in research at the Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule.
Additional to that, I am Usability and National Expert Member of German UPA e.V., Spokesperson of the Board of Directors Media Informatics (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., Fachgruppe Medieninformatik) and evaluator of the re-accreditation of the study course Media Computer Science, Human-Machine Interaction and Software Engineering.
I'm also a mentor at "Mentoring Hessen", a project of Hessian universities and universities of applied sciences to advance the careers of women. "The aim is to increase the percentage of women in attractive specialist and management positions in both academia and business."
I am specialized in the following areas: Media Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction, Usability, User Experience, User Interface, User-Centered Design, System and Software Engineering.
Before, I was involved in the Flying Faculty Program at the OVGU - Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg and Turkish German University Istanbul to lecture Software Engineering and Human-Machine Interaction, chaired by Prof. Dr. Mesut Güneş and Prof. Dr. Faruk Bağcı.
I worked as a Managing Director DFG at the Collaborative Research Centre 1053 MAKI – Multi-Mechanisms Adaptation for the Future Internet at Technische Universität Darmstadt, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ralf Steinmetz.
I did my dissertation “Usability of Agricultural Engineering” to attain the Ph.D. title at the University Hohenheim under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Karlheinz Köller and Prof. Dr. Gerd Doeben-Henisch.
I'm holding a Master of Science in “Barrier-free systems - Intelligent Systems” and a Diploma in “Technical Informatics Engineering", both from the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (FUAS).
I gained experience in several companies for example in: Bosch/Siemens/Home Appliances GmbH, Daimler AG, Ford-Werke GmbH, John Deere GmbH & Co. KG.
My goal is to continue my passion in research and lectures, to satisfy my curiosity, to acquire knowledge and finally pass down my knowledge. There is nothing better than to acquire useful knowledge unless you can share it with interested folks.
