Prof. Dr. Prof. h.c. Otthein Herzog
University of Bremen and Tongji University, Shanghai
Otthein Herzog earned his doctorate in computer science from the University of Dortmund in 1976 after studying in Tübingen, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and Bonn (diploma in applied mathematics in 1972). He then worked at IBM Germany in software product development from 1977 to 1993, where he also founded and headed the first industrial research laboratory for artificial intelligence in Germany in 1985.
From 1993 to 2009, he held the professorship for artificial intelligence at the University of Bremen, where he founded and headed the TZI – Technology Center for Computer Science and Information Technology with colleagues in 1955. In 1995, he was a founding member of the Logistics Research Network – later LogDynamics – and was the first spokesperson for the Collaborative Research Center 637 “Self-Control of Logistical Processes” (2004-2008). From 2010 to 2019, he was Professor of Visual Information Technologies at Jacobs University Bremen. Since 2015, he has been Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongji University, Shanghai.
He is a member of acatech – National Academy of Science and Engineering, a fellow of the German Informatics Society, and an international member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
He is the (co-)author and (co-)editor of more than 300 peer-reviewed international publications, including four patents and 45 books and book chapters.
