Welcome to my homepage  - Who am I?
My name is Zeynep Tuncer.  I currently hold the position of Professor and Head of Media Informatics (Master), Human-Computer-Interaction (Master) and Digital Media (Bachelor) at the Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule, where I also serve as an Ombudsperson adhering to the rules of good scientific practice in research. 
In addition to that, I am a spokesperson for the Board of Directors Media Informatics (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., Fachgruppe Medieninformatik), and have evaluated the re-accreditation of the study course Media Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Software Engineering. 
I am also a mentor at "Mentoring Hessen", a project run by Hessian universities and universities of applied sciences to support women in their careers with the goal of increasing the proportion of women in attractive specialist and management positions in academia and business. 
My areas of expertise include Media Informatics,  Human-Computer Interaction, Usability, User Experience, User Interface, Human-Centered Design, System and Software Engineering . 
Previously, I was a member of the Flying Faculty Program at the OVGU - Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg and Turkish German University Istanbul, where I lectured Software Engineering and Human-Machine Interaction, under the supervision by Prof. Dr. Mesut Güneş and Prof. Dr. Faruk Bağcı.
I was the Managing Director DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 1053 MAKI – Multi-Mechanisms Adaptation for the Future Internet at Technische Universität Darmstadt, which was chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ralf Steinmetz.
I completed my dissertation, “Usability of Agricultural Engineering” to attain the Ph.D. title at the University of Hohenheim under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Karlheinz Köller and Prof. Dr. Gerd Doeben-Henisch.
​I hold 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 at several companies, such as Bosch/Siemens/Home Appliances GmbH, Daimler AG, Ford-Werke GmbH, and John Deere GmbH & Co. KG.
My ambition is to pursue my passion in research and teaching, to satisfy my curiosity, acquire knowledge, and finally pass down my knowledge. There is nothing better than acquiring useful knowledge unless you can share it with interested folks.
