Markus Zimmermann

Markus Zimmermann has established himself as a leading expert in human-machine interaction and cooperative systems, currently serving as Head of Interaction Design at Starship Technologies since 2017. After earning his diploma in Media Informatics from LMU Munich in 2011, he built an impressive career spanning academia and industry. His research at the Technical University of Munich's Institute of Ergonomics focused on cooperative driving systems, automated vehicle interfaces, and human-machine interaction. His impact is evidenced through highly-cited publications on driver vigilance in automated driving, cooperative driving systems, and human-robot interaction. His work on multimodal interaction concepts for cooperative driving has significantly influenced the field of automated vehicle interfaces. Through his research on gamification in cooperative driving scenarios and development of interaction principles for human-machine systems, he continues to advance understanding of how humans and automated systems can work together effectively while maintaining focus on user-centered design principles.
