Biography:
Heiko Drewes studied from 1980 to 1987 mathematics (Vordiplom) and physics (Diplom) at the University of Wrzburg/Germany. After years of traveling and being an artist he had a small software company from 1994 to 2004, programming and selling a terminal emulation. From 2004 to 2010 he did a PhD study at the Ludwig-Maximilian-Universitt in Munich/Germany on the topic 'Eye Gaze Tracking for Human Computer Interaction'. After some private projects in the border area between computer science and art (daisyvases.com) he went back to Ludwig-Maximilian-Universitt in 2017 as a researcher continuing his research on eye tracking.
