Full Professor
Osnabrück University (Germany)
Martin Atzmueller is Full Professor (W3, tenured) at Osnabrück University (Germany), where he heads the Semantic Information Systems research group, as well as Scientific Director at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), heading the research department Cooperative and Autonomous Systems. Previously, he also held appointments at Tilburg University (The Netherlands) as an Associate Professor, and at the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord (France) as a Visiting Professor. Martin Atzmueller’s research interests include Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science and Integrative AI Systems, where his research covers, in particular, complex data, explainable AI, interpretability, machine perception, as well as semantic modeling. A major focus lies on machine learning and analysis on complex (sensor) data such as images, graphs, networks, and temporal data, often encountered in complex systems, as well as the respective system view and design. This also relates to applications in complex integrative AI system domains, for example, to robot control and integrative sensor-based AI systems. Here, the goal is to develop according semantic perception-based information systems, which can act both interactively and autonomously, in particular also enabling explainable methods for trusted AI system design.
