Igor S. Pandžić is a Professor at the Department of Telecommunications, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia. He leads the 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, more recently, computer vision, with particular interest in face analysis and animation and strong focus on applications of these technologies. Igor also worked on networked collaborative virtual environments, computer generated film production and parallel computing. He published five books and around 100 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 senior member of IEEE, ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH.
