Biography
Professor Wolfgang Heidrich holds the Dolby Research Chair in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. He received a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Erlangen in 1999, and then worked as a Research Associate in the Computer Graphics Group of the Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrucken, Germany, before joining UBC in 2000. Heidrich's research interests lie at the intersection of computer graphics & animation, machine vision, imaging, and optics. In particular, he has worked on High Dynamic Range imaging and display, image-based modeling, measuring, and rendering, geometry and animation capture, GPU-based rendering, and global illumination. His work on HDR displays was commercialized by startup company Brightside Technologies. Brightside has since been acquired by Dolby Inc., resulting in the creation of Dolby Canada, a research division located in Vancouver. Heidrich has written over 80 peer-reviewed publications and has served on numerous program committees. He was the program co-chair for Graphics Hardware 2002, Graphics Interface 2004, and the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering, 2006.
