Nicolas Leins

My research focuses on human-computer interaction with agentic AI systems in the areas of learning, collaboration, and decision-making. Through prototyping and experimental evaluation, I investigate how people collaborate with and experience AI in applied contexts (e.g., AR and VR), addressing interaction design, user experience, and broader societal implications.
