Stefan Lengauer is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Visual Computing (IVC), Graz University of Technology. His work bridges cultural heritage analysis and health informatics through advanced visualization techniques.

• PhD in Computer Science (2022), Graz University of Technology
• MSc in Space Sciences (2018), TU Graz
• BSc in Computer Science (2014-2022) and Aviation (2015), FH JOANNEUM

Research focuses on visual analytics, 3D object retrieval, and cross-modal search, with applications in:

• Medical domains (diabetes care, health information systems)
• Cultural heritage (pottery analysis, fragment matching, digital restoration)
• Pattern recognition (geometric motifs, surface textures)

Recent publications highlight trends in adaptive visualization (2024-2025) and 3D cultural heritage analysis (2021-2023). Key projects include:

• HEREDITARY (2024-present): HORIZON Europe project on gut-brain interaction
• A+CHIS (2020-present): FWF research group on adaptive health information systems
• CrossSAVE-CH (2019-2022): Cross-modal search in cultural heritage

Scientific recognition includes:

• Best Challenge Entry (2024)
• Honorable Mention (2020)
• PhD distinction (2022)

Mentored 12+ students in topics ranging from medical chatbots to 3D pottery analysis. Reviewing activities span journals like Springer Nature and conferences including WSCG.
