Dr. David Rudi
Consultant @ AWK Group AG
Welcome! Take a tour through my website.
Business
I am currently working as a Consultant with AWK Group AG in the area of Financial Services with focus on Project Management & Transformation. Before joining AWK I worked several years as a Researcher at ETH Zurich where I acquired my doctoral degree and gained first experience in Project Management. I was able to gain experience with regard to requirements engineering, business analysis, and Java development during my time at Triona Information und Technologie GmbH, for which I worked as an IT-consultant in the fields of banking, logistics, and accounting. I gained my first work experience as a student assistant at the German research center for artificial intelligence in Saarbrücken where I developed intelligent user interfaces. It was also in Saarbrücken that I acquired my Master in Computer Science at the Saarland University.

Research
My research covers various topics in civil aviation with the aim to improve the human-computer interaction accross all pilot activities and thus to ultimately enhance pilots' situation awareness.
Research projects
Pilot Eye Gaze and Gesture tracking for Avionics Systems using Unobtrusive Solutions (ongoing)
Summary: The aim of the PEGGASUS project is to analyse the gaze and gesture data of pilots to provide them with seamless interactions in future cockpits.
My contributions: Project planning (incl. writing the project proposal), project management, project realization, and research.
Project partners: CSEM, ETH Zurich (my employer), SERMA Ingenierie, Swiss International Air Lines, Thales. EU funded.
