I studied linguistics and information science at the University of Saarland, Germany, and the University of Missouri, Columbia, USA. My ph.d. thesis in information science (under review) deals with the transition of the traditional to the virtual museum. My research interests are virtual museums and user-centered information design. As a team member of MusIS (museum information system) I work for the State Museums of Baden-Württemberg providing support for the use of information technology in museums. Currently I work on a project for a virtual museum on the Internet in which we plan to use personas for information design and communication about the project.
