Jörn Kohlhammer

Jörn Kohlhammer is head of the Competence Center for Information Visualization and Visual Analytics and honorary professor at TU Darmstadt. His center develops innovative visualization solutions for several industry sectors, including:

• Visual Business Intelligence and Visual Business Analytics
• Medical data analysis of electronic health records
• Decision support in the public sector
• Visualization for cyber-security

Jörn is author of more than 50 publications in journals and books, and of monographs and conference papers. He is regular member of program committees for conferences like IEEE VAST and EuroVis, and acts as reviewers in many conferences and journals. His research interests include decision-centered information visualization based on semantics, and visual business analytics. Jörn is member of IEEE and the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI), and represents Fraunhofer in the TDWI.

Jörn Kohlhammer studied computer science with a minor in business administration at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. After that he received his diploma in 1999, he worked as a research scientist at the Fraunhofer Center for Research in Computer Graphics (CRCG) in Providence, RI, USA until 2003. In 2004 he joined Fraunhofer IGD in Darmstadt, Germany to finish his PhD on decision-centered visualization in 2005.
