Biography

Piotr Didyk is an Associate Professor at the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), where he leads the group focused on Perception, Display, and Fabrication. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in 2012. Following his doctorate, he spent several years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral associate. In 2014, he became an independent research group leader at the Cluster of Excellence in Multimodal Computing and Interaction at Saarland University and was appointed as a Senior Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. Dr. Didyk moved to Lugano in spring 2018. His research interests include human perception, computer graphics, new display technologies, image and video processing, 3D printing, and computational fabrication. A primary goal of his work is to combine a deep understanding of human perception with computational hardware to enhance display quality and improve 3D fabrication techniques. In 2018, he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant.
