Professional background

Bachelor's degree in mechatronics with a focus on technical editing. Bachelor of Engineering 2016. Master's degree in Human Computer Interaction at the University of Siegen. Master of Science 2020.

Pascal Vetter has been active in the human-centered design of digital systems for 10 years, where he develops ways out of seemingly deadlocked situations at the interface of people, organization and technology. He accompanies decision-making processes, identifies critical factors and hidden potential and develops concepts and strategies for the realization of target-oriented solutions. In participative formats, he creates productive spaces without bans on thinking, builds bridges between management levels and specialist departments and identifies opportunities and risks of products, system landscapes and organizational structures.

With his many years of experience in scientific and business project contexts in the areas of strategy design, technology design, process analysis, knowledge management and interaction design (design thinking), he builds bridges between scientific disciplines and business practice and develops solutions and ways out of seemingly deadlocked situations. He uses applied research methods for this purpose.

Pascal Vetter has been working on his doctorate at ITAS since 2020, where he is working on a topic of human-centered AI design.
