Bruno Feijó serves as a Full Professor in the Computer Science Department at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro's Center for Technology and Sciences (CTC), where he directs the ICAD/VisionLab laboratory. His pioneering work established Brazil's academic foundation in Games and Digital Entertainment, previously unrecognized in higher education institutions. Feijó co-founded the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Games and Digital Entertainment (SBGames) and the Special Committee on Games within the Brazilian Computer Society.

• PhD in Computer Science, University of London/Imperial College (1988)
• Bachelor of Engineering, Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA) (1975)

Feijó's research bridges computer graphics, animation, and interactive media with practical applications in digital television, cinema, and educational technology. His interdisciplinary approach spans from high school vocational training programs to advanced research prototypes, influencing public policy in Brazil's creative industries. Current projects focus on real-time rendering techniques for broadcast media and game-based learning environments.

• CNPq Level 1D Research Productivity Grant (highest distinction for Brazilian scientists)

With over 15 doctoral and 40 master's students mentored, Feijó's academic lineage includes entrepreneurs who secured venture capital for gaming startups. His educational innovations include co-designing Brazil's first vocational high school curriculum in multimedia at NAVE/Oi Futuro. As former editor of Elsevier's Media Technology book series, he shaped international discourse on emerging digital media platforms.

The ICAD/VisionLab under his direction develops cutting-edge visualization systems used in television production pipelines and maintains partnerships with broadcast networks for digital cinema research. The laboratory serves as incubator for student projects that have won awards at SIGGRAPH and other premier venues.
