Vita
Born in 1976. After studying French, Linguistics and History in Bielefeld and Paris (1995 - 2001), Karola received her PhD in Linguistics from Bielefeld University, Germany (2006) working on the topic of multimodal aspects of student-teacher interaction in immersive classrooms (supervised by Prof. E. Gülich & Prof. U. Dausendschön-Gay). Her PhD has been honored with the Dissertation Award of the Westfälisch-Lippische Universitätsgesellschaft. She has since held positions as postdoctoral researcher in EU-projects with the “Work, Interaction & Technology” research centre at King’s College London, UK (2005 – 2008, Prof. C. Heath), as well as with the Applied Informatics group and the CoR-Lab at Bielefeld University (2008 – 2011, Prof. G. Sagerer). Since 2012, she is a Dilthey Fellow funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, and has headed the research group “Interactional Linguistics & Human-Robot-Interaction” at the Center of Excellence “Cognitive Interaction Technology” (CITEC, Bielefeld). In 2014, Karola has been appointed as professor in the Institute of Communication Studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen and continues to be an associated member at CITEC.
