Holger Regenbrecht promoted to Professor

Prof Holger Regenbrecht, a Gut Health Network member, has recently been promoted to Professor - Congratulations!

Holger Regenbrecht’s general field of research is Human-Computer Interaction with an emphasis on visual computing. In particular, he works on computer-mediated realities where the human's view of the world is delivered via a computing system. For example, in augmented reality the real world is superimposed with spatially-aligned information. His work spans theory, concepts, techniques, technologies, and applications in a wide range of domains (civil engineering and architecture, automotive, aerospace, medicine, rehabilitation and well-being, and neuroscience). A second emphasis of his research is computer-mediated communication, such as telepresence systems, where he studies technological and psychological aspects and delivers prototype solutions, such as the integration of collaboration (e.g. shared design models) with communication (e.g. spatial videoconferencing) technologies. Computer-mediated realities and communication research requires strong multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. Holger has worked in, and led teams, comprising computer and information scientists, psychologists, designers, and domain experts.
