Akademischer Rat; Lecturer

Lewis Chuang is a tenured Akademischer Rat (Lecturer equivalent) of the Institute for Informatics at Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität Munich. He holds a doctorate in behavioral neuroscience and employs task analyses, physiological monitoring, psychophysics, and applied computational modeling to understand how we interact with digital technologies and automation. He has received funding at the European, national, and state level, across domains such as wearable computing, augmented/virtual reality, teleoperations, and vehicle handling.
