Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Daniel Cornel

Researcher

Daniel Cornel received a BSc degree in Media Informatics from the Vienna University of Technology in 2011 and continued his studies with a Master's degree in Visual Computing, which he completed in 2014. During his studies he specialized in real-time rendering with a focus on the development of engines for video games. He completed his PhD on "Interactive visualization of simulation data to support spatial decisions" in 2020. Since 2014 he is a researcher in the Integrated Simulations group of VRVis. For one of his recent work he received the EuroVis Best Paper Award 2019.
