Albrecht Schmidt is a professor for Pervasive Computing and User Interface Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. Previously he was head of department at the Fraunhofer institute for intelligent information and analysis systems. From 2003 to 2006 he headed the embedded interaction research group at the University of Munich. Albrecht studied in Ulm, Karlsruhe and Lancaster, where he completed his PhD on the topic “ubiquitous computing – computing in context”. His teaching and research interests are in media informatics and ubiquitous computing, and in particular in the area of user interface engineering. Albrecht enjoys creating new interaction techniques and interfaces technologies for specific environments such as the home or the car. Over recent years he organized several workshops and conferences and served in various committees in pervasive computing community.
