.: Igor S. Pandžić :.
Igor S. Pandžić is an Associate Professor at the Department
of Telecommunications, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University
of Zagreb, Croatia and director of Human-Oriented Technologies Laboratory (HOTLab).
He teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the fields of virtual environments
and communications. His main research interests are in the field of computer graphics
and virtual environments, with particular focus on character animation, embodied
conversational agents, and their applications in networked and mobile environments.
Igor also worked on networked collaborative virtual environments, computer generated
film production and parallel computing. He published four books and around 90 papers on
these topics.
Formerly he worked as a Senior Assistant at MIRALab, University of Geneva, Switzerland,
where he obtained his PhD in 1998. The same year he worked as visiting scientist at AT&T
Labs, USA. In 2001-2002 he was a visiting scientist in the Image Coding Group at the
University of Linköping, Sweden, and in 2005 at the Department of Intelligence Science
and Technology, Kyoto University, on a Fellowship awarded by Japan Society for Promotion
of Science. He received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of
Zagreb in 1993, and MSc degrees from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL)
and the University of Geneva in 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Igor was one of the key contributors to the Facial Animation specification in the MPEG-4
International Standard for which he received an ISO Certificate of Appreciation in 2000.
He held various functions in organizing numerous international conferences and served as
guest editor for a special topic in IEEE Communications Magazine. He has been active in
international research collaborations within the EU research programmes since the 3rd
Framework Programme, as well as in national research projects and collaboration with
industry. Igor is a member of IEEE and a senior member of ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH.
