Alan Chalmers is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol, UK. He has published over 90 papers in journals and international conferences on very realistic graphics. He is currently a member of the Eurographics Executive Committee, is chair of the Eurographics Symposia Series on Graphics and Cultural Heritage and is a former Vice President of ACM SIGGRAPH. His research is investigating the use of very realistic graphics in the accurate visualization of archaeological site reconstructions and techniques which may be used to reduced computation times without affecting the perceptual quality of the images.
