Georgios Papaioannou is an Associate Professor of Computer Graphics at the Department of Informatics of the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) and head of the AUEB computer graphics group. He is currently the director of the MSc program in Digital Methods for the Humanities, member of the UNESCO chair for digital methods for the humanities and social sciences and administrator of the computer systems and communications department sector. His research is focused on real-time computer graphics algorithms, photorealistic rendering, shape analysis and geometry processing. He received a 4-year BSc in Computer Science in 1996 and a PhD degree in Computer Graphics and Shape Analysis in 2001, both from the National and Kapodestrian University of Athens, Greece. Since 1997, he has worked as a research fellow in many research and development projects. From 2002 till 2007 he worked as a software engineer in virtual reality systems at the Foundation of the Hellenic World. Prof. Papaioannou has been teaching elementary and advanced computer graphics, programming and human-computer interaction courses since 2002 and he has been the principal investigator for AUEB in many EU and nationally funded projects as well as R&D collaborations with the industrial sector. Prof. Papaioannou has more than 80 publications in peer-reviewed international scientific journals, conference proceedings and volumes, with more than 1900 citations to his work. He is also a member of ACM, SIGGRAPH, Eurographics Association and has been a member of the program committees of many conferences in the above fields.

Dr. Andreas - Alexandros Vasilakis received his Ph.D. degree in 2014 on the field of Computer Graphics from the Department of Computer Science& Engineering of the University of Ioannina in Greece. He has also received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the same institution in 2006 and 2008, respectively. He had a successful collaboration with the graphics group at the Department of Informatics in Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) as well as the Virtual and Augmented Reality research units at the Information Technologies Institute of the Centre of Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) as a postdoctoral researcher, where he successfully assisted in the coordination of one national and two European research projects. He has also served as software engineer in Think Silicon S.A., mainly responsible for the software design and development of graphics drivers and development kits for low-power graphics solutions funded from 2 EU-research projects. His work has been published in high-ranking journals and leading international conferences offering strong technical contribution to the field of photorealistic rendering, processing and visualization of large, animated and complex 3D data. Several fields of real-time rendering, i.e. VR/AR rendering, is now triggering his future research work.
