Hi, I am Max

I research human-computer interaction, accessibility and build interfaces that adapt to people.
PhD Student - Researcher @ Ulm University

Max Raedler

I design and research
interfaces that adapt
to people.

My research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, adaptive user interfaces, accessibility, and computational approaches. I explore how technology can better understand and respond to human needs — not the other way around.

Currently pursuing my PhD at the University of Ulm, I collaborate with researchers internationally and publish at top-tier venues including ACM CHI, UIST, and IMWUT.
