We are thrilled to see that our Visiting Professor Prof. Wolfgang Heidrich, a world-leading researcher in Computer Graphics & Computational Imaging, has recently been awarded as an ACM Fellow (Association for Computing Machinery). This is ACM’s most prestigious member grade that recognises the top 1% of ACM members for their outstanding accomplishments in computing and information technology and/or outstanding service to ACM and the larger computing community.
Notably, Prof. Heidrich has been our regular HKU Engineering Visiting Professor for the past 3 years, hosted by Prof. Evan Y. Peng at our EEE department, and was holding the Hong Kong STEM Visiting Professorship in 2024/2025, and has merited many research and knowledge outputs at HKU.
