Christian Tominski

Christian Tominski serves as an apl. Professor (non-tenured) at the University of Rostock, holding the außerplanmäßige Professur for Human-Data Interaction within the Institute for Visual and Analytic Computing. His academic work spans teaching in Visual Computing and Computer Science programs, with active research contributions in data visualization and visual analytics.

His research focuses on multi-variate data visualization, time-series and geo-visualization, graph visualization, and coordinated multiple views. He investigates interaction techniques including interactive lenses, visual comparison, navigation, and guidance mechanisms, alongside computational aspects such as efficient algorithms and asynchronous processing for visualization systems. Recent work emphasizes task-driven approaches and analytic support for interactive exploration.

Analysis of his publication trends reveals strong emphasis on visual analytics for complex data structures, particularly in process mining and multivariate graphs. His work consistently explores guidance frameworks, progressive computation models, and novel interaction paradigms for large high-resolution displays, bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications in visual data analysis.

Tominski holds professional roles as a member of the Faculty Council of IEF and the System Technical Group of Computer Science Institutes at the University of Rostock. He actively participates in the Informatik-Forum Rostock (INFO.RO), contributing to the regional computer science community through collaborative initiatives and knowledge sharing.
