Martina Ziefle is a full professor and leads the chair of Communication Science at RWTH Aachen University. She is one of four directors of the Human-Computer Interaction Center (HCIC) at RWTH Aachen, Germany.

She is a psychologist by education. Her research is concerned with human interaction and communication of humans with technology addressing the human factor in different technology types and using contexts. The impact of individual cognitive and affective factors on technology acceptance and the interaction and communication between humans and technology is integral part of the user-centered research approach. A special research focus is directed to humans and their interaction and communication with autonomous vehicles, exploring users' perceptions, attitudes and social factors that influence the intention to use novel mobility technologies.

Martina Ziefle is (co-)author of more than 400 publications (h-index 43, as taken from google scholar). Martina Ziefle leads various projects funded by industry and public authorities, dealing with technology acceptance, risk perception and communication as well as the interaction and communication of humans with technology.
