PhD (Queensland University of Technology)

Professor Ronald Schroeter is a Principal Research Fellow at the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q), QUT (Brisbane, Australia). His research focus is the design of innovative driving experiences that make transport by car, bike or any other mobilty device type more fun and safe. This work allows him to embrace multidisciplinary research across HCI/HMI, psychology and road safety. He has led and won six ARC competitive grants, including a prestigious Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), three ARC Discovery Projects, and an ARC Linkage with industry partners where he explores using Augmented Reality to influence driver states. He also led HMI-related activities of iMove project No:1-002 "Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) Pilot – Field Operational Test (FOT) and Evaluation", and is the Deputy-Director of a currently pending (under review) ARC Training Centre for Automated Vehicles in Rural and Remote Regions. Lastly, he's a regular active program committee member and co-chair in various roles at the International ACM Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications.
