Carrie Lau

Pen and paper are my friends! I am a PhD candidate in Human-Centered Technologies for Learning at the Technical University of Munich, focusing on designing and evaluating generative AI applications for Cultural Resilience. I hold a Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Siegen. Outside academia, I enjoy hiking and stand-up paddling and am passionate about mentoring the next generation of game and VR developers.
