Inaugural lecture by PD Dr. Christoph Peters

In his inaugural lecture on the topic of "The human-centered design of digital and AI-based solutions", Christoph Peters impressively demonstrated various aspects under which the topic can be illuminated and researched - always with the users in focus.

In his presentation, he illustrated his approach to the design of IT-based products and services; he illustrated this with examples from the areas of "Agile", "Crowdwork", "People-related Services" and "High Tech Solutions".  Special attention was paid to the question of how to adequately address the needs of future users of such systems - with the goal of designing  systems that are not only technologically innovative, but also socially desirable. The inaugural lecture was attended by many guests, including the Dean of the School of Management, Prof. Dr. Reinhard Jung,  as well as other representatives of the HSG, family members, friends, colleagues as well as representatives of companies with which Christoph Peters has pursued joint projects in recent years.

Christoph Peters received his PhD from the University of Kassel in 2015 under Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister and has since been working at the Institute of Information Systems (IWI-HSG), first as a postdoc, since  2019 as an assistant professor and after his habilitation in 2020 as a private lecturer at the HSG. At the University of Kassel, he is a research group leader.
