Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt is a professor at the University of Stuttgart. His central research
interests are novel user interfaces and innovative applications enabled by ubiquitous computing.
Before moving to Stuttgart he was a professor at the Univeristy of Duisburg-Essen. Prior to his
appointment there he was a Professor for Media Informatics at the University of Bonn and head of
department at Fraunhofer IAIS (December 2006-Septmeber 2007) and leader of the DFG funded
embedded interaction research group (Emmy Noether Program) at the Media-Informatics
department at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich (2003-2006). From 2001-2003 he
was a research associate at Lancaster University in the UK and from 1998-2001 he was a research
assistant at the University of Karlsruhe. Albrecht obtained a Diplom in Informatik (1997) from
University of Ulm, and MSc in Computing (1996) from Manchester Metropolitan University and a
PhD (2003) from the Lancaster University.
His primary research interest is in human computer interaction beyond the desktop, including user
interfaces for wearable computing, mobile devices, cars, and embedded systems. The focus of his
work is on engineering novel user interfaces, inventing interaction techniques and designing
interactive applications in the context of mobile and ubiquitous computing.
In the last 10 years Albrecht published well over 100 refereed archival publications that are listed
in DBLP, several of them are highly cited (4 papers with 200+ citations, the PhD dissertation is
cited 100+ and his h-index is 23; based on google scholar). Albrecht is Column Editor at the IEEE
Computer for invisible computing (since 2010, following Bill Schilit) and in the editorial board of
two respected journals (Elsevier Journal Pervasive and Mobile Computing and Springer CSCW).
He is a member of the steering committees of the international conferences Pervasive Computing
(since 2005), Ubicomp (2003-2009), and ACM SIGCHI Tangible and Embedded Interaction. He
has chaired several program committees of the internationally leading conferences in his field (e.g.
Ubicomp in 2005, MobileHCI in 2011) and has a long-standing service on the program
committees of Ubicomp, Pervasive, and SIGCHI, and service on selected program committees of
further leading conferences, such as the IEEE Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC) and
the ACM Conference on Mobile Computing Systems (MobiSys).
