Biography

Hello, I am Henry. I was born and raised in the flatlands of Lower Saxony, so coming here and seeing all those mountains was quite a shock to me.

Before getting into computer graphics research, I took quite a detour. First, I trained as a state-certified environmental technology assistant, which was fun but not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. After that, I did my Bachelor’s (and Master’s) in Computer Science at Saarland University. This decision was based on a friend living here and a Saarland University trailer that has sadly since been deleted.

Over the course of my Bachelor’s and Master’s, I became interested in computer graphics. In particular, I was fascinated by real-time rendering, with its focus on interactivity and strict time constraints. My current research focuses on ray tracing in virtual reality, which will hopefully lead to interesting and immersive projects.

Outside of research, I am working on sharpening my tea-making skills in search of the perfect cup.
