Dr. Denis Kalkofen is an associate professor at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Vision (ICG), Graz University of Technology, Austria. His research is focused on developing visualization, interaction, authoring and display technology for Virtual and Mixed Reality environments. He is especially interested in the combination of computer graphics and computer vision techniques to enable comprehensible and easily accessible Virtual and Mixed Reality experiences. Denis received Dipl.-Ing. (2004) from the University of Magdeburg and Dr. techn. (2009) from Graz University of Technology. In 2019, he joined the Wearable Computer Laboratory at the University of South Australia, in Adelaide Australia as visiting researcher, and the Computational Imaging Laboratory at Stanford University, USA as visiting assistant professor. Before joining ICG, he was a member of the Virtual Reality Laboratory at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. |
