Investigating the value creation of user experience Academic work

My academic work focuses on the value proposition of user experience (UX): What value can UX create and what conditions does UX need for this value creation?

As part of my voluntary work as a working group leader in UX strategy, I investigate organizational contexts that enable UX to create strategically significant value. And as part of my (mostly voluntary) research activities, I investigate the value of UX in transdisciplinary projects such as education (dissertation on UX in digital concept mapping) or the supervision of doctoral researchers in UX-related topics (such as human-drone interaction, experiences of users of easy-to-read language, or assessment situations).
