I got my PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in the Department of Computer Science. Subsequently I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and part-time faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the Graphics, Visualization & Usability Center. After several years as Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of California Irvine, where I established the Computer Graphics Lab, I now lead the Visualization and MultiMedia Lab as an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Zurich .
