Summary
Maria Rauschenberger is a Professor of Digital Media with a decade of experience bridging human-computer interaction, digital media design, accessibility, gamification, and applied machine learning. She combines academic rigor from a PhD in Computer Science with practical research stints at MPI-SWS, Carnegie Mellon, and ChangeDyslexia to turn social challenges into tech-driven solutions. Her doctoral work demonstrated a playful, language-independent ML approach to early dyslexia detection, highlighting a rare blend of empathy-driven design and robust data science. At Hochschule Emden/Leer she leads teaching and applied projects that translate HCI methods into real-world interfaces for diverse populations, from children to older adults. Colleagues note her knack for turning experimental studies into deployable training games and educational tools that improve early intervention outcomes.
