Bernhard Preim

Bernhard Preim is a specialist in human-computer interface design as well as in Visual Computing for Medicine.He is currently Professor for Visualization at University of Magdeburg, Germany. He received the diploma in computer science in 1994 (minor in mathematics) and a Ph.D. in 1998 from the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg (Phd thesis "Interactive Illustrations and Animations for the Exploration of Spatial Relations"). In 1999 he joined the staff of MeVis (Center for Medical Diagnosis System and Visualization). In close collaboration with radiologists and surgeons he directed the work on "computer-aided planning in liver surgery" and initiated several projects funded by the German Research Council in the area of computer-aided surgery. In June 2002 he received the Habilitation degree (venia legendi) for computer science from the University of Bremen. Since Mars 2003 he is full professor for "Visualization" at the computer science department at the Otto-von-Guericke-University of Magdeburg, heading a research group which is focussed on medical visualization and applications in surgical education and surgery planning. These developments are summarized in a comprehensive textbook Visualization in Medicine (Co-author Dirk Bartz), which will appear at Morgan Kaufman in April 2007. Bernhard Preim is member of the ACM and the German Chapter of the ACM where he served as Vice-President (2001-03). He is speaker of the working group Medical Visualization in the German Society for Computer Science. He is member of the scientific advisary board of CURAC (German Society for Computer- and Roboter-assisted Surgery, since 2004) and Visiting Professor at the University of Bremen where he closely collaborates with MeVis Research.
