Biography
Dr. Dr. Norbert Streitz (Ph.D. in physics, Ph.D. in psychology/ cognitive science) is a Senior Scientist and Strategic Advisor with more than 35 years of experience in information and communication technology. He is the founder and scientific director of the Smart Future Initiative (SFI) which was launched in January 2009 (www.smart-future.net).
Norbert is an elected member of the CHI Academy, an award honoring "individuals who have made substantial contributions to the field of human-computer interaction. These are leaders of the field, whose efforts have shaped the disciplines and led the research and/or innovation in human-computer interaction". It is granted by the world's largest association of experts in this field, the ACM Special Interest Group for Computer-Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI). Norbert is one of the very few Germans receiving this award in the 20+ years history of this award.
From 1987 - 2008, he was at the Fraunhofer Institute IPSI (previously GMD-IPSI) in Darmstadt, Germany, where he held different positions as Division Manager and Deputy Director. At IPSI, he initiated and managed research efforts in multiple areas (see Research Topics). A prominent example is the research division "AMBIENTE - Smart Environments of the Future" founded by him in 1997. He also taught at the Department of Computer Science of the Technical University Darmstadt for more than 15 years. Before joining IPSI in Darmstadt, he was an Assistant Professor at the Technical University Aachen (RWTH), Germany, teaching and doing research in cognitive science and human-computer interaction and founding the ACCEPT-Group (AaChen Cognitive Ergonomics ProjecT).
This was preceded by his work in theoretical physics (general relativity theory and elementary particle physics) at the University of Kiel, Germany.
At different times of his career, he was a post-doc research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, a visiting scholar at Xerox PARC, USA, and at the Intelligent Systems Lab of MITI, Tsukuba Science City, Japan.
Dr. Dr. Norbert Streitz has published/edited 40 books, 2 special issues of journals, and authored/co-authored more than 170 papers presented at the relevant national and international conferences or in journals in his areas of interest.
