Summary
Sören Klingner is a product-focused AI researcher and software engineer with 10 years of experience building human-centered machine learning systems, currently shaping in-car gaming as Product Owner at CARIAD. He combines academic depth—a PhD in Informatics—with hands-on work in vehicle occupant monitoring, affective computing, VR, and HCI from roles at DFKI and Fortiss. Sören has a track record of turning computational models of emotion and deep decision-making networks into practical prototypes and production features, and he pairs this with expertise in motion capture, Unreal/Unity, and embedded vehicle contexts. His background in eyetracking, haptic feedback and immersive interfaces gives him a unique perspective on designing AI that understands and responds to people, not just signals.
