| Biography |
Associate Professor Dr. Wolfgang Mueller-Wittig is the Director of the Centre for Advanced Media Technology (CAMTech) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) since January 2001. He is also an Associate Professor at the NTU School of Computer Engineering.
Current research foci include the application of highly interactive three-dimensional computer graphics for manufacturing, engineering, edutainment, and cultural heritage. Dr. Mueller-Wittig received his university degree (Dipl.-Inform.) as well as his doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) in Computer Science from Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany). He has authored more than ninety technical publications, covering a variety of subjects such as real time rendering, Virtual and Augmented Reality, digital heritage, advanced technologies in computer-assisted surgery, and GPGPU. Dr. Mueller-Wittig is also a member of various societies such as the IEEE Computer Society, Eurographics, ACM SIGGRAPH Singapore, Asian Media Information & Communication Centre (AMIC), International Society of Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery, and Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Singapore.
CAMTech is a joint venture between the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics (Fraunhofer-IGD), Darmstadt (Germany), and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The centre's mission is to conduct applied research and to transfer innovative technology to the industry. |
| Research Interests |
| Associate Professor Dr. Wolfgang Mueller-Wittig areas of expertise are computer graphics, real time rendering, Virtual & Augmented Reality, and GPGPU. Current research work focus on the use of GPU for high performance computational biology (e.g., bio-sequence alignment). He is also involved in the SMART-CENSAM (Centre for Environmental Sensing and Modeling) project and responsible for the development of a visualization platform for interactive evaluation and exploration of dynamic environmental models. Further research include cultural heritage (e.g., Virtual Peranakan) and the generation of new learning environments using interactive & digital media (e.g., Augmented Reality Chinese Language Learning Game, Virtual NanoTechZoo, Augmented Physics Lab). |
