Publication date: 2019-04-18

Jie Li of the DIS group has been selected to participate in the 7th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), to be held from September 22 to 27, 2019, in Heidelberg, Germany. The annual HLF event selects a small group of 200 most qualified Young Researchers worldwide to meet pre-eminent scientists from the fields of mathematics and computer science.

Jie Li is a postdoctoral researcher of the Distributed Interactive Systems group. Her research focuses on human factors in computing systems, developing Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics and evaluation methods for measuring and understanding immersive experiences. This includes social virtual reality, mixed reality, and multiscreen interactive TV broadcasting experiences.

The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLF) is a networking event for mathematicians and computer scientists from all over the world. The recipients of the most prestigious awards in mathematics and computer science, the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal and the Nevanlinna Prize are invited to participate in the Forum. They will give lectures on subjects of their choosing which are primarily directed at the participating young scientists. Those lectures should be the starting point of intensive discussions between the laureates and the young researchers during the forum. This means that the Heidelberg Laureate Forum is not a classical scientific conference but a networking event meant to motivate and inspire the next generation of scientists. Additional to the lectures there are other platforms for exchange, such as workshops, the hot topic, poster flashes etc.
