Alois C. Knoll received the diploma (M.Sc.) degree in
Electrical/Communications Engineering from the University of Stuttgart,
Germany, in 1985 and his PhD (summa cum laude) in computer science
from the Technical University of
Berlin, Germany, in 1988. He served on the faculty of the computer
science department of TU Berlin until 1993, when he qualified for
teaching computer science at a university (habilitation). He then
joined the Technical Faculty of the University of Bielefeld,
where he was a full professor and the director of the research group
Technical Informatics until 2001. Between May 2001 and April 2004 he
was a member of the board of directors of the Fraunhofer-Institute for
Autonomous Intelligent Systems. At AIS he was head of the research
group "Robotics Construction Kits", dedicated to research and
development in the area of educational robotics. Since autumn 2001 he
has been a professor of Computer Science at the Computer Science
Department of the Technical
University of Munich. He is also on the board of directors of the
Central Institute of Medical Technology at TUM (IMETUM-Garching);
between April 2004 and March 2006 he was Executive Director of the
Institute of Computer Science at TUM.
His research interests include cognitive, medical and sensor-based robotics,
multi-agent systems, data fusion, adaptive systems and multimedia
information retrieval. In these fields he has published over 200
technical papers and guest-edited international journals. He has participated
(and has coordinated) several large scale national
collaborative research projects (funded by the EU, the DFG, the DAAD,
the state of North-Rhine-Westphalia). He initiated and was the program
chairman of the First IEEE/RAS Conference on Humanoid Robots
(IEEE-RAS/RSJ Humanoids2000), he was general chair of IEEE
Humanoids2003 and general chair of Robotik 2004, the largest German
conference on robotics, and he served on several other organising committees.
Prof. Knoll is a member of the German Society
for Computer Science (Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI)) and the
IEEE. Prof. Knoll is also a member of the highly-esteemed ISTAG board, an advisory group which consults the European Commission on its overall strategy for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) research and development.
