Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHeiko Holz is a tenure-track junior professor in computer science and computer science education who blends academic research with hands-on software engineering and product leadership. He holds a summa cum laude PhD studying the efficacy and UX of Prosodiya, a mobile game he helped develop to support German children with dyslexia, and continues as technical director and lead developer for that project. As technical director and principal investigator at TuCAN he leads development of tablet-based cognitive screening tools for neuropsychiatric disorders and has secured substantial third-party funding for large-scale studies. His background spans full-stack game and app development (Unity, Xamarin, Android, Python, JS, mongoDB), statistical modeling of cognitive processes, and interdisciplinary project management. Beyond academia he has entrepreneurial experience in gaming and medtech, combining empirical evaluation with production-grade systems. A less obvious strength is his track record of translating rigorous experimental research into widely deployed, funded digital health and education products.
