Short Biography
Dirk Wollherr is currently senior researcher and lecturer (since July 2005) and Privatdozent (since 2013) at the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. He received the diploma engineer degree in Electrical Engineering in 2000, the Doctor of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering in 2005 and the Habilitation degree in 2013 from the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. From 2001-2004 he has been research assistant at the Control Systems Group, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. In 2004 he has been granted a research fellowship from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at the Yoshihiko-Nakamura-Lab, The University of Tokyo, Japan. From 2006-2008 Dr. Wollherr has been General Manager of the Cluster of Excellence “Cognition for Technical Systems (CoTeSys)” and since 2005 he is principal investigator, independent junior research group leader, and research area leader within CoTeSys. He has been TUM Carl-von-Linde Junior Fellow, Institute of Advanced Studies from 2010 until 2013. Furthermore, he has been active in dissemination, e.g. Program Co-Chair of the "Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts (ARSO) 2013", General Chair of the German “Robotik 2008” conference and Finance Chair of RO-MAN 2008, as well as in several EU projects, e.g. Robot@CWE, CyberWalk, Movement and IURO. His research interests include automatic control, robotics, autonomous mobile robots, human-robot-interaction, and humanoid walking.
