Organisers
We are excited about the organisation committee of this workshop with expertise in diverse fields. Together, the organisers have a history in a variety of topics including human-robot interaction, natural language processing, conversational user interfaces, dark patterns, multi-modal communication, as well as pervasive and persuasive technologies. Below, we would like to introduce each co-organisator individually.
Thomas Mildner is a postdoctoral researcher at the Digital Media Lab at the University of Bremen, in collaboration with the Leibniz Science Campus Digital Public Health. His research focuses on ethical design and developing technologies to support informed and empowered decision-making. His work thereby considers social media platforms but also ubiquitous technologies including Conversational User Interfaces.
Nima Zargham is a postdoctoral researcher at the Digital Media Lab at the University of Bremen. His research focuses on human-centred approaches for designing desirable speech-based systems.
Rainer Malaka is professor for Digital Media at the University of Bremen. He is managing director of the Center for Computing Technologies (Technologiezentrums Informatik und Informationstechnik, TZI) and director of the PhD program Empowering Digital Media, funded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation. His research focus is on multi-modal interaction, language understanding, entertainment computing, and artificial intelligence.
