Martin Raubal is Professor of Geoinformation-Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. He was previously Associate Professor and Vice-Chair at the Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara, and Junior Professor at the University of Münster. Martin received his Ph.D. in Geoinformation from Vienna University of Technology in 2001 with honors. He holds a M.S. in Spatial Information Science and Engineering from the University of Maine and a Dipl.-Ing. in Surveying Engineering from Vienna University of Technology. Martin's research interests lie in the area of cognitive engineering for geospatial services, more specifically he focuses on representing and modeling people's cognition and spatio-temporal behavior, and the integration of such models into geospatial applications for the enhancement of people's decision-making support. His teaching includes courses on GIS, cartography, geovisualization, location-based services, temporal aspects of GIS, spatial cognition and wayfinding, and research methods. Martin was a board member of UCGIS (University Consortium for Geographic Information Science) from 2008-11 and a council member of AGILE from 2005-06. He serves on the editorial boards of Transactions in GIS, Journal of Location Based Services, Journal of Spatial Information Science, Geography Compass, and the Semantic Web Journal. He has authored and co-authored more than 70 books and research papers published in refereed journals and conference proceedings.
