Reinhold Kliegl is professor of experimental psychology at the University of Potsdam, Germany. His research focuses on how the dynamics of language-related, perceptual, and oculomotor processes subserve attentional control, using reading, spatial attention, and working memory tasks as experimental venues; he also examines neural correlates and age-related differences in these processes. His research has been carried out in interdisciplinary projects with colleagues from linguistics as well as from theoretical physics and mathematics. He is a member of the senate of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, a member of the Editorial Board of Psychological Review, and a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. In 2002 he received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and in 2008 the Wilhelm-Wundt-Medaille of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie.
