Biography

Andreas Bulling is Full Professor (W3) of Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart and Director of the research group Collaborative Artificial Intelligence. He is also an ELLIS Fellow and Founding Director of the Stuttgart ELLIS unit, Faculty and Member of the Executive Board of the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS), and Member in the Cluster of Excellence "Data-integrated Simulation Science" (SimTech) as well as the Stuttgart Interchange Forum for Reflecting on Intelligent Systems (IRIS). He received his MSc. (Dipl.-Inform.) in Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, focusing on embedded systems, robotics, and biomedical engineering. He holds a PhD in Information Technology and Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland. Andreas was previously a Feodor Lynen Research Fellow and a Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, UK, a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, UK, as well as a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Cambridge. From 2013 – 2018 he was a Senior Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and an Independent Research Group Leader (W2) at the Cluster of Excellence on Multimodal Computing and Interaction (MMCI) at Saarland University. His work has been published and has received numerous awards in top venues in AI and computer vision, including NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, and TPAMI, as well as in HCI, most importantly SIGCHI, UbiComp/IMWUT, and UIST. Andreas is UbiComp steering committee member and serves on the editorial boards of the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable, and Ubiquitous Technologies, ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems, and the Journal of Eye Movement Research. He served as co-chair, TPC member, and reviewer for major conferences, most recently as TPC member for ACM UIST 2021, TPC co-chair for ACM UbiComp 2016 and IEEE PerCom 2015, associate chair for ACM ETRA 2016 and 2018 as well as ACM CHI 2013, 2014, 2018, and 2019, and general chair for ETRA 2020 and ETRA 2021. He received an ERC Starting Grant in 2018. In 2021, he was ranked top 2% HCI scientists in the world (ranking 172 out of 13,251 worldwide and 4th in Germany)[1], as well as top 1% in the field of Human Factors worldwide (47 out of 14,266).[2] He was appointed a Henriette Herz Scout by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2024.
