Bio:

• SIGGRAPH 2010

  Erik Reinhard received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Bristol in 2000, having worked on his Ph.D. for three years at Delft University of Technology, prior to a further three years in Bristol. Following a post-doctoral position at the University of Utah (2000-2002) and assistant professor at the University of Central Florida (2002-2005), he returned to Bristol as a lecturer in January 2006. Erik founded the prestigious ACM Transactions on Applied Perception, and has been Editor-in-Chief since its inception in 2003, until early 2009. He is also guest editor for a special issue on HDRI for Elsevier’s Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation (2007). He is lead author of ‘High Dynamic Range Imaging: Acquisition, Display, and Image-Based Lighting’. He was program chair for Eurographics PGV 2002 and ACM APGV 2006, He is also program co-chair for the short papers program of the Eurographics main conference in 2008. He was invited speaker for the Society for Information Display’s main conference (2007) and keynote speaker for Eurographics 2010. His work on natural image statistics include an assessment of such statistics for use in computer graphics, as well as an image statistics based algorithm for the transfer of colour between two images.

  Erik Reinhard is lecturer at the University of Bristol and holds a courtesy appointment at the University of Central Florida. He has a B.S. and a TWAIO diploma in computer science from Delft University of Technology and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Bristol. He was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Utah. He co-authored the first book on High Dynamic Range Imaging (Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 2005). He is founder and co-editor-in-chief of the journal ACM Transactions on Applied Perception, and guest editor of a special issue on Parallel Graphics and Visualisation for the journal Parallel Computing (March 2003), and a special issue on High Dynamic Range Imaging in the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation. He is also co-editor of Practical Parallel Rendering (A K Peters, 2002). His current interests are in visual perception and its application to computer graphics problems such as tone reproduction and color correction.
