We are thrilled to host, again, the world-leading researcher in Computer Graphics & Computational Imaging, Prof. Wolfgang Heidrich, joining us as a STEM Visiting Professor.
Prof. Heidrich was presented AAIA Fellow, IEEE Fellow, and Eurographics Fellow, as well as the ACM SIGGRAPH Achievement Award and Test-of-time Award Winner. Since 2014, Prof. Heidrich has been affiliated with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) CS and ECE. Before that, he had been a faculty member at the University of British Columbia (UBC) computer science (2000-2018). Prof. Heidrich is best known for his work in developing the high dynamic range (HDR) imaging and displays, which served as the basis for the technology behind Brightside Technologies, which was acquired by Dolby, and then later on (as part of the Dolby vision) turned into one of the core technical solutions for commercial displays.
