Renata Georgia Raidou

Renata Georgia Raidou is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Visualization and Visual Analytics at TU Wien's Institute of Visual Computing & Human-Centered Technology. She leads the Research Unit of Computer Graphics and serves as Curriculum Coordinator for the Bachelor in Informatics (Specialization Digital Health) and Master in Medical Informatics programs. She holds prestigious awards including the EuroVis Young Researcher Award (2022), Best PhD Award (2018), and Dirk Bartz Prize (2017).

Her research focuses on medical applications of Visual Analytics, with emphasis on uncertainty visualization, comparative visualization, and anatomical edutainment through physicalizations. She explores how visual tools can enhance decision-making in precision medicine, particularly in radiotherapy and cancer treatment. Her work bridges visualization, machine learning, and image processing to address clinical challenges.

Raidou's recent projects include developing predictive visual analytics systems for radiotherapy planning and creating tactile physicalizations for anatomy education. She actively contributes to the field through editorial roles (Associate Editor of Computer & Graphics) and policy advising via EASAC's 'AI in Healthcare' initiatives.
