Member of the Knowledge Exchange Lab
Irina Brich began working at the IWM as a research associate and Ph.D. student in 2014. After completing her dissertation in 2020, she has been working as a PostDoc in the Knowledge Exchange Lab. Currently Irina Brich is investigating comprehension processes in visual narratives like comics, with a special focus on persons with low literacy. In several projects, she is also concerned with the application of usage data and artificial intelligence to improve video learning and with the perception of risk in the interaction with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
Irina Brich graduated at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (M.Sc. 2014) with a focus on business psychology as well as knowledge, communication and media psychology. In her dissertation at the University of Tübingen and the IWM, which she finished in July 2020, she investigated how tailoring the interaction of human and technology at a multi-touch table to our cognitive architecture can improve information processing in group and individual situations.
