معرفی
Prof. Dr. Martin Weigel serves as a Professor of Computer Science with a focus on Human Machine Interfaces at the Technical University of Central Hesse (THM), working within the Department of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Computer Science. His contact information includes email martin.weigel@mni.thm.de, office A10.8.09 at Wiesenstrasse 14, 35390 Gießen, and phone +49 641 309 - 2478.
His academic credentials include:
- Dr.-Ing. in Computer Science from Saarland University (2017)
- M.Sc. in Computer Science from Saarland University (2014)
- B.Sc. in Computer Science from TU Darmstadt (2010)
Before joining THM in 2021, Dr. Weigel worked as a Senior Scientist at the Honda Research Institute Europe (2017-2021). His research centers on interactive systems and innovative technologies, particularly novel mobile and wearable devices. His work spans touch-sensitive stickers for interaction on the skin, flexible and deformable input/output devices, drone interaction, haptics, and virtual reality. He develops concepts through rapid prototyping using 3D printing, laser cutting, and printed electronics, followed by user evaluation studies.
Dr. Weigel's publication record from 2013-2025 shows consistent focus on human-computer interaction with increasing specialization in virtual reality interfaces, haptic feedback systems, and human-drone interaction. His recent work demonstrates practical applications in care settings and safety awareness systems, reflecting a progression from foundational on-skin interface research to complex integrated systems.
As an educator, Dr. Weigel teaches Practical Computer Science, Interactive Systems, Evaluation of Interactive Systems, and Haptic User Interfaces across multiple semesters. He actively supervises bachelor's and master's theses, offering projects in interactive software development, hardware construction, and user studies on emerging technologies. Students must access his Moodle course for thesis supervision to understand requirements and available topics.
