Curriculum vitae

Manuel Zaremski, M.Sc., is a research associate and the leader of the Human-Machine Interaction research group at the Institute of Human and Industrial Engineering and (ifab). His research focuses on human-machine interaction, particularly on investigating cognitive processes and the understanding of human behavior in industrial work settings using eye and gaze data. In various projects, he has also worked on ergonomic workplace design and the human-centered introduction of new technologies. Within the Collaborative Research Center 1574, "Circular factory for the perpetual product," he leads the "Learning from Human" working group. He received his master’s degree in Biomechanics, Motor Control, and Learning (2013-2017) and his bachelor’s degree in Sports Science (2010-2013) from Justus Liebig University Giessen.
