Georg Groh

Georg Groh's (*1970) field of research is focused on modeling, instantiating and using social context for applications. Here, social context refers to all aspects of short-, medium-, or long-term human social interaction that are or may be related to, mediated by, or significant for IT systems. Respective scientific fields include models and applications of e.g. social signal processing, social network analysis, or social media / web-mining. Methods are currently mainly centered around machine learning-based natural language processing.

Georg Groh acquired his Diploma in theoretical Physics from the University of Kaiserslautern and studied at universities Hamburg, Kaiserslautern and TUM, also acquiring his Diploma in Informatics. 2005 he graduated as a PhD in Informatics at the chair of Prof. Johann Schlichter, TUM where he worked on ad-hoc-groups in mobile communities. 2012 he acquired his Habilitation in the same group, working on contextual social networking. 2020 he was appointed adjunct professor at the Faculty for Informatics, TUM.
