  Renato Pajarola received a Dipl. Inf-Ing ETH and a Dr. sc. techn. degrees in computer science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich in 1994 and 1998 respectively. Following his dissertation, he was a post-doctoral researcher and lecturer in the Graphics, Visualization & Usability (GVU) Center at Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1999, he joined the University of California, Irvine as an assistant professor and founded the Computer Graphics Lab there. Since 2005, he has been leading the Visualization and MultiMedia Lab at the Universität Zürich as an associate professor in the Department of Informatics. His research interests include real-time 3D graphics, multiresolution modeling, point-based graphics, interactive scientific visualization, remote and parallel rendering, compression, and interactive 3D multimedia. He has published a wide range of some 50 internationally peer-reviewed research articles in top journals and conferences. He frequently serves on program committees, such as the IEEE Visualization Conference (2004-06), Pacific Graphics (2002-03,07-08), and EuroVis (2001,2006-08), and he has co-chaired the papers program of the 2007 and 2008 IEEE/Eurographics Symposium on Point-Based Computer Graphics. He also received Eurographics (2005) and IADIS (2007) Best Paper Awards. He is a member of the ACM, ACM SIGGRAPH, and the IEEE Computer Society.
