David Duke is a Reader in the Visualization and Virtual Reality Group of the School of Computing at the University of Leeds (UK). His interests are technologies for large-scale data visualization, graph visualization, and minimal graphics - the use of schematic knowledge in visual representation. A feature of his work is its links with other strands of computing and cognitive science: he currently leads a project exploring how advances in functional programming can benefit grid-enabled visualization, while his research on interactive systems, VEs, and ontologies for visualization has built on his doctoral work in formal methods and semantics. During the last 10 years he has co-developed a technique for integrating a model of cognitive information processing in the analysis of interactively rich systems; contributed to the development of an ISO/IEC standard (PREMO) for multimedia rendering; and collaborated with groups in Amsterdam (CWI) and Bordeaux (LaBRI) on information visualization.
In 2000 he succeeded Hans-Peter Seidel as Editor-in-Chief of Computer Graphics Forum (joining Sabine Coquillart, and more recently, Roberto Scopigno). He co-chaired the joint Eurographics / IEEE VGTC Symposium on Visualization (EuroVis 2005), and was programme co-chair for DSV1S'99, STAR Chair for Eurographics 2000, and Jon Landsdown Award co-chair for Eurographics 2003. He will serve as Gunter Enderle Award Chair for EG2008. He as been on the IPC of a number of events, including Eurographics (2000-2003, 2007), and EuroVis 2007. He has served two terms as an elected member of the EG Executive Committee, and in 2006 was elected as Fellow of the Association.
As an educator, he has been responsible for introducing computer graphics and visualisation into the undergraduate curriculum at York, and continues to teach graphics at Leeds.
