Stefan Maierhofer is head of the Semantic Modeling and Acquisition group at VRVis. He studied Computer Science with a focus on Computer Graphics and Algorithms at the Technische Universität Wien (Vienna University of Technology) and received a Ph.D. (with distinction) from the same university in 2002. Apart from his obvious interest in Computer Graphics, he also has a solid understanding of Software Engineering and Design due to a multi-year exposure to industry, mainly as a independent consultant.
