Clemens Schartmüller
is a research assistant and PhD candidate in the research group of Prof. Riener at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), in cooperation with the Johannes Kepler University Linz. In his PhD, he conducts prototype-driven research on novel user interfaces for productive and safe office work in highly automated vehicles.
Sayan Sarcar
is an Assistant Professor at the University of Tsukuba, Japan. His research area includes Computational UI Design, Ageing & Accessibility, Input, and Interaction.
Andreas Riener
is a Professor for Human-Machine Interaction and Virtual Reality at THI, Germany with co-appointment at CARISSMA (Center of Automotive Research on Integrated Safety Systems and Measurement Area). He is further leading the human-computer interaction group (HCIG) at THI. His research interests include driving ergonomics, driver state estimation from physiological measures, human factors in driver-vehicle interfaces, application of AR, as well as topics related to (over)trust and acceptance, and ethical issues in automated driving.
Andrew L. Kun
is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Hampshire. His research focus is human-computer interaction in vehicles, primarily in speech interaction, as well as the use of visual behavior and pupil diameter measures to assess and improve the design of user interfaces. He served as the General Chair of the 2012 AutomotiveUI conference.
Orit Shaer
is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Director of Media Arts and Sciences at Wellesley College. Her expertise is in designing, implementing and evaluating novel human-computer interactions including multi-touch, augmented reality, and tangible interaction. In 2012 she was General Chair of the ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces conference, in 2017 she served as program co-chair of the ACM Tangible Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) conference, and in 2020 she will again serve as program co-chair of TEI.
Linda Ng Boyle
is Professor and Chair of Industrial & Systems Engineering. She has a joint appointment in Civil Engineering. Her research focuses on road user safety, and modeling road user's performance and behavior. She served as the General Chair of the 2014 AutomotiveUI conference and is a co-author of the book, “Designing for People” An Introduction to Human Factors Engineering''.
Shamsi Iqbal
is a Principal Researcher in the Information and Data Sciences (IDEAS) group in Microsoft Research, AI. Her primary expertise is in the domain of Attention Management and Interruptions. More recently her work has focused on redefining productivity, introducing novel ways of being productive and balancing productivity and well-being in interaction design. Her work on driving and distraction has been featured in the New York Times, MIT Tech Review among others, and also featured in the King 5 News (NBC affiliate in the Seattle area). Shamsi has served on many organizing and program committees for HCI conferences, and is currently serving as an ACM TOCHI Associate Editor and will be serving as the General Co-chair for UIST 2020.
