Ludwig Wittgenstein said: "The Limits of My Language Mean the Limits of My World". I believe that most progress in computer science is made by pushing the limits of the language that computers and humans speak.

High-Performance Visualization Group (HPV)

Peter Rautek is a Research Scientist in the High-Performance Visualization Group (HPV) working with Professor Markus Hadwiger at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).

Education and Early Career

Peter joined Vienna University of Technology at the beginning of his academic life. He obtained his bachelor degree in Media Computer Science in 2003. After that, he worked as a teacher assistant for one year. In 2005, he received his master degree in Computer Graphics and Digital Image Processing. During his preparation for the master degree, he worked part-time as a Computer Science teacher at School for Social Services in Seegasse.

He had many positions at Vienna University of Technology. He was a Research Assistant from 2005 to 2009. In that period, he was also preparing his doctoral in Computer Science. He received his doctoral degree in 2009. Before joining KAUST, Peter was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Vienna University of Technology.

Research Interest

Peter is interested in Scientific Visualization, Computer Graphics, Augmented and Virtual Reality, and Internet of Things.
