Research

I am a researcher at the Computer Graphics Group, University of Siegen. My research topics include various aspects of Physically Based Rendering, Real-Time Rendering, Sensor Simulation, Virtual Reality, and Scientific Visualization. See my publication list at Google Scholar. Most publications are freely available, and for some of the others you can access pre-print versions.

Software projects

I write and maintain several software projects. Some are related to my research interests, some are completely different, but all are free software.

  • msmtp - SMTP client (send mail)
  • mpop - POP3 client (receive mail)
• Multimedia: graphics, video, visualization, virtual reality, etc.
  • Bino - 3D video player with multi-display support
  • QVR - Virtual Reality abstraction library with sample applications
  • qv - Quick Viewer for 2D data (images, renderings, sensor data, ...)
  • gencolormap - Color map generator for scientific visualization
