Vita
Christian Peter obtained his Masters Degree (Diploma) in Electrical Engineering in 1996 from the University of Rostock, Germany. From 1997 to 2000 he was researcher at the Computing Laboratory of Oxford University, UK in the field of hardware development and systems design for novel sensor technologies. Since 2000 he is with Fraunhofer IGD Rostock, focusing his research on the development of intelligent, self-contained, non-obtrusive sensors for affect-related physiological parameters and the analysis and application of the obtained data.
His related scientific interests lie on: physiology of emotions, particularly (peripheral) psycho-physiological reactions in users while interacting with their environment; emotion representation in digital systems; and emotion-related speech analysis. In latest activities he is also investigating if and how cognitive states can be measured with little or even non-obtrusive means.
Mr Peter presented his work in international journals, book chapters, and on international conferences. He received two Patent Awards of the INIGraphics-Net foundation in 2005 and 2006 for two submitted patents in the field of physiology-based emotion detection.
Mr Peter is initiator and co-organizer of the workshop series on Emotion in Human-Computer Interaction and served on the scientific committee for several conferences, workshops and symposia related to affect and emotion in human-computer interaction. He is member of the Emotion sub-group at the World Wide Web consortium's (W3C) MMI activity.

Research topics
Christian Peter has broad experience in the field of sensing mental states, particularly emotional or affective states. His focus is on analysis of physiological parameters as well as of speech. In actual projects he focusses on analysis of interaction and behaviour patterns to conclude on a person's mental state.
