Curriculum Vitae

Prof. Dr. Enrico Rukzio joined Ulm University in April 2012 where he heads the Human-Computer-Interaction group which receives substantial funding from the Emmy Noether - Programme. He is furthermore a part-time lecturer at Lancaster University (personal homepage). Prior to coming to Ulm, he worked from 2010 till 2012 at the University of Duisburg-Essen where he headed the Mobile HCI research group. He worked full time as a RCUK academic fellow and lecturer from 2006 to 2010 in Lancaster. He received his doctorate from University of Munich in 2007. He worked as a research associate and PhD student in the Embedded Interaction and the Media Informatics group at the University of Munich between 2004 and 2006. He worked as a research associate in the Heinz-Nixdorf Endowed Chair for Multimedia Technology at the Technical University of Dresden from 2002 till 2004. Before that, he completed his MSc in Computer Science at the Technical University of Dresden.

Prof. Dr. Enrico Rukzio has published over 60 internationally peer-reviewed publications including conference (e.g. at CHI, UIST, Ubicomp, Mobile HCI or Percom), journal (e.g. IEEE Pervasive Computing) and workshop papers (e.g. WMCSA) and holds 2 patents. He is PC Co-Chair of Mobile HCI 2013, Conference Chair of MUM 2012, was PC Co-Chair of MUM 2010 und Tutorial Co-Chair of Mobile HCI 2009 & 2010. Enrico is an associate editor of the Journal of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing and was guest editor for the Journal of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing and the International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction. His research and supervision has been funded by the DFG, EU, DOCOMO Euro-Labs, EPSRC, Nokia, Mercator Foundation and NWDA.

Fields of research and publications

My research focuses on the investigation of novel interaction techniques, applications and services which support the interaction between mobile devices and pervasive user interfaces. This includes especially the interaction with horizontal and vertical displays, personal projectors and projected user interfaces. Information about my publications and projects can be found at (information at web pages at Ulm University are still under development) :

- Since 2006 at Lancaster University: Publications, Projects, Videos
- 2010-2012 at University of Duisburg-Essen: Publications
- 2004-2006 at University of Munich: Publications
