Markus Rittenbruch is a Senior Research Fellow with the Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation.  He has over 15 years of research experience in the fields of HCI and CSCW and has worked at various research organisations in Germany and Australia, including the University of Bonn, the Distributed Systems Technology Centre (DSTC), the University of Queensland, the Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID), and NICTA, Australia’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Centre of Excellence.

Prior to joining QUT, Markus was the NICTA project lead for the Braccetto project, which explored the use of multi-touch interaction in collaborative work environments. His research interests include the design of collaborative software, advanced models of awareness in groupware, in particular contextual and intentional awareness, social software, ambient and ubiquitous computing and natural user interfaces.

Markus has published over 30 peer reviewed book chapters, journals articles and conference papers, including publications in the leading journals in HCI (Human-Computer Interaction Journal) and CSCW (Journal on Computer Supported Cooperative Work) and leading conferences in Ubicomp, HCI and Information systems.
