Thomas Zeller, associate professor in the University of Maryland's Department of History, has been teaching in the Science, Technology and Society Scholars program since 2002. His research and publications are mostly concerned with the intersections of the history of technology and environmental history.

His book, "Driving Germany: The Landscape of the Autobahn, 1930–1970," was published in 2007. Zeller has co-edited four academic books on environmental history and the history of technology.

Zeller's current research includes a comparative history of the view from the road in the United States and Germany; this project, Consuming Landscapes, has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the John W.
