Prof. Martin RAUBAL

Prof. Martin Raubal is Professor of Geoinformation Engineering at ETH Zurich – the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. He is also a Steering Committee member of the Center for Sustainable Future Mobility at ETH Zurich and a member of the Future Resilient Systems (FRS) Management Committee at the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC).

At the SEC, he is leading Digital Underground as the project's Principal Investigator (PI) and is leader of the Distributed Cognition for Social Resilience research cluster in the FRS programme. In this programme, he is the PI of Spatiotemporal Analysis for Weak Signals Detection research module and Co-Investigators for several other modules.

He was previously Associate Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Prof. Raubal received his Dr techn. in Geoinformation from the 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 the Vienna University of Technology.

Prof. Raubal’s research interests focus on spatial decision-making for sustainability. More specifically he concentrates on mobile Geographic Information Systems & Location Based Services, analyzing spatio-temporal aspects of human mobility, spatial cognitive engineering, and mobile eye-tracking to investigate visual attention while interacting with geoinformation and in spatial decision situations. Prominent application domains include transportation, energy, and aviation.
