In 2015, Hager won the prestigious Institute for Advanced Studies Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship, named for TUM Professor Hans Fischer (1881-1945), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1930 for his pioneering work on hemoglobin and related structures. These three-year fellowships are awarded to outstanding international scientists who explore innovative, high-risk topics in collaboration with a TUM research group. Hager is working on the modeling of data on human task performance, with the goal of creating intelligent robotic assistants that will enhance human ability through individualized training.
