With the beginning of October 2010 I have left the Visualization and Computer Graphics Laboratory of Lars Linsen. I am happy to go the next step as assistant professor for “Visual Computing” at Chemnitz University of Technology. My future directions include the building of the new Visual Computing Laboratory and search for new cooperations, especially in the fields of visualization, high-performance computer graphics, and practice-oriented visual computing.

Airline Forum 2010
Last week i had a really nice day at the Airline Forum 2010, which is a conference hosted by Lufthansa Systems. Many impressive new things where presented.
I was invited to give an introductory talk to visualization. These talks I actually like a lot since you can really surprise people with nice and impressive pictures. A very famous picture, surely everybody in visualization community should know is the graph of Minard visualizing the march of Napoleon on Moscow. For me the birth of information visualization.
