Hans-Christian Hege
I‘m a freelance scientific advisor and strategic consultant. Until 2020 I headed the Visual & Data-centric Computing Department at Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB). After studying physics and mathematics, I did research in computational physics and quantum field theory at Freie Universität Berlin (1984-1989). Then, I joined ZIB, initially as scientific consultant for high-performance computing, and then as head of the Scientific Visualization (now: Visual & Data-centric Computing) department, which I started in 1991. My research group works in visual data analysis and develops visualization software such as Amira/Avizo. I‘m also co-founder of the companies Mental Images (1986, now NVIDIA Advanced Rendering Center), Indeed-Visual Concepts (1999, now Visage Imaging), and Lenné3D (2005). I have taught as guest professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, spain and as honorary professor at the German Film School (University for Digital Media Production) / Film School Babelsberg, Germany. My research interests include visual computing and applications in life sciences, natural sciences and digital humanities. I‘m member of ACM, IEEE, Eurographics (elected fellow since 2016), GI, DPG and CURAC.
