Mario Aehnelt

Mario Aehnelt studied computer science and psychology at the University of Rostock. There he received his diploma in 2002. Since 2002 he is member of the scientific staff at Fraunhofer IGD. His research focused in the beginning years strongly on the seamless interlinking of knowledge, learning and work processes at the workplace. Since 2009 his focus has been concentrated on the conceptual and technological design of cognitive information assistance for the manual assembly workplace. With this topic he received his PhD (Dr.-Ing.) 2017 in computer science from the University of Rostock.

Since 2017 Mario Aehnelt leads the Competence Center Visual Assistance Technologies at the Fraunhofer IGD in Rostock.

Mario organizes and moderates annual scientific and industrial workshops which bring together visual assistance with the challenges and the future of work in times of Industry 4.0, e.g. the HCI@I4.0 Workshop at i-KNOW 2017, the ACM International Workshop on Sensor-based Activity Recognition and Interaction 2015 or the Go-Visual science meets business workshop in Berlin. He is program committee member of several learning and work related conferences and workshops, such as iLRN 2017 or TEL@WORK 2017.
