Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt holds a position as Chair (Full Professor, W3) of Pervasive Computing and User Interface Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen, since October 2007. 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).
