Recent Activities

I am a Professor in Interactive Visualization and head of the Scientific Visualization Group at Linköping University, Sweden. Currently, my research interests lie in the areas of multimodal and multivariate visualization, volumetric illumination models as well as interactive visual problem solving. Before moving to Sweden, I finished my Habilitation at the University of Münster, Germany, where I was project leader within the collaborative research center SFB 656 - Cardiovascular Molecular Imaging.
