Tuğcan ÖNBAŞ

Tuğcan ÖNBAŞ is a student assistant in the Human-Centered Intelligent Systems at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences (THI), where he is pursuing a Master’s degree in User Experience Design with a focus on the intersection of design, technology, and intelligent systems within mobility and automotive contexts.

His portfolio includes a range of independent engagements—from iOS and web apps to design systems and Swift packages—bridging software engineering with visual communication. This experience informs his research in human–AI interaction, where he integrates design reasoning with technical experimentation to explore how intelligent systems can support intuitive, transparent interactions across diverse digital domains.

His academic work explores human-centered AI across mobility, intelligent systems, and digital experience design, focusing on how AI-driven technologies can enhance interaction, perception, and engagement in both physical and digital contexts. His research interests include multimodal interaction, affect-sensitive interfaces, and the integration of large language models into user experience, emphasizing clarity, contextual awareness, and the creation of meaningful, adaptive systems that advance human-centered innovation.
