Dr. Gabriel Zachmann is professor for computer graphics, visual computing, and virtual reality at University of Bremen, Germany. He is the head of the computer graphics lab since 2012. Before that, he established and headed the computer graphics group at Clausthal University, Germany, where he was a professor with the computer science department since 2005.

Prior to that, he was assistant professor with Prof. Reinhard Klein’s computer graphics group at Bonn University, Germany, and head of the research group (Nachwuchsgruppe) for novel interaction methods in virtual prototyping, which was funded by the DFG within the Emmy-Noether programme (“Aktionsplan Informatik”).

In 2000, Dr. Zachmann received a PhD in computer science, and in 1994 a Dipl.-Inform (MSc), both from Darmstadt University. He worked on his Diploma thesis during a half-year visit to the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. He began his studies of computer science at Karlsruhe University.

From 1994 until 2001, he was with the Virtual Reality group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics in Darmstadt, where he carried out many industrial projects in the area of virtual prototyping. He also helped found a spin-off (VRCom) that maintains and further develops the VR-System, of which Dr. Zachmann was one of the principal architects during these years. Overall, he was one of the pioneers in Europe who helped develop first Virtual Reality applications for the automotive manufacturing domain.

In 2010, Prof. Zachmann became a Visiting Professor with the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. From 2009 through 2014, he also served on the board of experts of the “Innovationsallianz Virtuelle Techniken (IA VT)”, which was established by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) within its IKT 2020 framework.

Dr. Zachmann’s research interests include geometric algorithms for computer graphics, in particular proximity computations and 3D acceleration data structures, massively-parallel algorithms on the GPU, virtual medical simulation, virtual twins, and virtual prototyping, algorithms in haptics and force-feedback, immersive 3D user interaction, immersive visualization, and others.

Zachmann has published many papers at international conferences in areas like collision detection, virtual prototyping, intuitive interaction, mesh processing, and camera-based hand tracking. He has also served on numerous program committees, as a reviewer for journals, conferences, and publishers, and as a referee for many PhDs, both national and international.

Each year, Prof. Zachmann serves on many international program committees and contributes actively to the organization of conferences such as IEEE VR and VisWeek.

He also served as expert reviewer for the EU to monitor an FP6 project, as a member of the review panel “Information and Communication Technologies” for the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation (RPF), and on the Review Panel in the Human Brain Project for the Competitive Call for additional project partners. And, of course, he has also served as a reviewer for many funding agencies, such as the DFG (German Research Foundation), the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), the Austrian Science Foundation (FFG), and the Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB).

Prof. Julia Schnitzer
Professor for Digital Media especially Interaction Design at Technische Hochschule Brandenburg,

Julia Schnitzer has been a professor of digital media at the Technical University of Brandenburg since March 2020. From November 2005 to February 2020 she was a professor of media design at the Mediadesign Hochschule in Berlin, in 2017 she was elected rector.

In addition to her teaching assignment, the communications designer runs the project berlindesign.net, a platform for Berlin designers, which was honored in 2009 by the then incumbent Federal President Horst Köhler as a “Place of Ideas”.

As a member of the steering group for creative industries of the Berlin Senate Administration, she was involved in several projects of the city of Berlin, including the development of Berlin as a “Creative City”. Since 2018 she has also been an external reviewer for the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Prof. Dr. Paul Grimm 

Prof. Dr. Paul Grimm is Professor for Expanded Realities at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Before he has been Professor of Computer Graphics at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences (Dean 2013-2016) and Erfurt University of Applied Sciences.

After studying computer science and physics at TU Darmstadt, he worked as a research assistant at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics. From 1997 to 1998 he was a visiting scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in Urbana-Champaign, USA. From 2009 to 2010 he did a research semester at Daimler Protics GmbH in the Virtual Engineering & Consulting division.

The research interests of Prof. Dr. Paul Grimm are simplification of the creation process for Virtual and Augmented Reality and he has pursued this in various national and international projects.

IES-KCIC

Knowledge creation is becoming more important topic for researchers and users in academic, management and industrial fields. The term has been widely used for the last couple of years, and refers to the formation of new ideas through interactions between explicit and tacit knowledge in individual human mind. To realise knowledge creation in real life, it is essential to transform human mind into computation in order to extract potentially useful information from data and create valuable knowledge. The use of intelligent techniques in computing-related fields can be useful to retrieve meaningful result in automated processes for knowledge creation.
