Harald Weinreich's Personal Page

About My Academic Life I studied informatics (computer science) at the University of Hamburg in Germany and got my diploma spring 1998. Now I work as a research and teaching assistant at the ,,Distributed Systems and Information Systems Group´´ of the University of Hamburg In spring 1994 I studied for 5 months at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena (Thuringia), where I concentrated on finishing my subsidiary subject astronomy. Just after I went to Ireland and spent the academic year 1994/1995 at the CSCW-Centre of the University of Limerick. Here I did research on the usability of the Campus Wide Information System ,,ULiX´´, the arising Web and the usage of icons. Summer 1995 I returned to Hamburg to write my master thesis. It is about Ergonomics of Hypertext Systems and the WWW. A list of my publications can be found on my university homepage.
