Bernt Schiele (born November 3, 1968, in Neustadt) [1] is a German computer scientist. He is Max Planck Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and professor at Saarland University. He is known for his work in the field of computer vision and perceptual computing. [2]
Schiele studied computer science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and at the École nationale supérieure d'informatique et de mathématiques appliquées de Grenoble (Ensimag). He received his diploma in computer science from Ensimag in 1993 and from the University of Karlsruhe in 1994. In 1994, he was visiting researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University. In 1997, he received his Ph.D. under the supervision of James L. Crowley from Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble INP). From 1999 to 2004 he was assistant professor at ETH Zurich. From 1997 to 2000, he was postdoctoral associate and visiting assistant professor in the group of Alex Pentland at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). [3] From 2004 to 2010 he was professor at the department of computer science of the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Since 2010 Schiele has been Max Planck Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and professor at Saarland University. [4]
The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science is a formally independent non-governmental and non-profit association of German research institutes. Founded in 1911 as the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, it was renamed to the Max Planck Society in 1948 in honor of its former president, theoretical physicist Max Planck. The society is funded by the federal and state governments of Germany.
The Max Planck Institute for Informatics is a research institute in computer science with a focus on algorithms and their applications in a broad sense. It hosts fundamental research as well a research for various application domains.
Dagstuhl is a computer science research center in Germany, located in and named after a district of the town of Wadern, Merzig-Wadern, Saarland.
Saarland University is a public research university located in Saarbrücken, the capital of the German state of Saarland. It was founded in 1948 in Homburg in co-operation with France and is organized in six faculties that cover all major fields of science. In 2007, the university was recognized as an excellence center for computer science in Germany.
The Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, or Leibniz Prize, is awarded by the German Research Foundation to "exceptional scientists and academics for their outstanding achievements in the field of research". Since 1986, up to ten prizes have been awarded annually to individuals or research groups working at a research institution in Germany or at a German research institution abroad. It is considered the most important research award in Germany.
The Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) is a computer science research institute co-located in Saarbrücken and Kaiserslautern, Germany. The institute is chartered to conduct basic research in all areas related to the design, analysis, modelling, implementation and evaluation of complex software systems. Particular areas of interest include programming systems, distributed and networked systems, embedded and autonomous systems, as well as crosscutting aspects like formal modelling and analysis of software systems, security, dependability and software engineering. It joins over 80 other institutes run by the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, which conduct world-class basic research in medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, technology and the humanities.
Gerhard Weikum is a German computer scientist and Research Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, where he is leading the databases and information systems department. His current research interests include transactional and distributed systems, self-tuning database systems, data and text integration, and the automatic construction of knowledge bases. He is one of the creators of the YAGO knowledge base. He is also the Dean of the International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science (IMPRS-CS).

Albrecht Schmidt is a computer scientist best known for his work in ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, and the tangible user interface. He is a professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich where he joined the faculty in 2017.
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology is an internationally renowned institute for climate research. Its mission is to understand Earth's changing climate. Founded in 1975, it is affiliated with the Max Planck Society and the University of Hamburg, and is based in Hamburg's district of Eimsbüttel. Its founding director was the Nobel laureate Klaus Hasselmann. The current managing director is Bjorn Stevens.
Thomas Lengauer is a German computer scientist and computational biologist.
The International Max Planck Research School for Organismal Biology founded in 2009, was a structured doctoral program of the former Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen (Pöcking) and the Department of Biology of the University of Konstanz. In October 2010, the first 30 doctoral students began their research, and until 2023, 105 have successfully graduated. The faculty consisted of over 35 leading scientists with a focus on behavioral science, ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology and neurobiology of the former Max Planck Institute for Ornithology and the Department of Biology at the Universität Konstanz. The goal of the IMPRS for Organismal Biology was to provide first-class training and education to doctoral students from around the world, in a stimulating, world-renown research environment. The school officially ended in 2023.
