Prof. Meyer’s research covers the key areas of “Stereotypes and diversity in human teams” and “Technology perception, digitalization and social consequences of the merging of humans and technology”. He is part of our “Productive Teaming” research initiative and his pioneering findings make a significant contribution to the design of inclusive teams. This creates the basis for innovative developments in the field of human-machine interaction.
In addition to his scientific expertise, Prof. Meyer is characterized by his versatile personality. As a presenter of science formats for “ARTE” and “Deutschlandfunk” and through his podcasts “Agree to Disagree” and “People of Science”, he creates a platform for open discussions on the challenges and opportunities presented by human-machine interaction.
Prof. Dr. Lambert T. Koch, President of the DHV, emphasizes that Meyer’s personal background as someone who lives with a bionic prosthesis and produces electronic music particularly shapes his research in human-machine interaction. This personal connection to his field of research makes Prof. Meyer a unique expert in this field. The “Productive Teaming” research initiative is proud to work with Prof. Meyer and congratulates him on this important award. The official award ceremony will take place at the “Gala of German Science” on March 25, 2024 in Berlin. We look forward to continuing to benefit from his outstanding technical expertise and his dedicated contribution to human-machine interaction.
