Lucas Rodrigues
Lucas Rodrigues is a Research Assistant and PhD Candidate at MoA’s Cutting project. He holds a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction from KTH and Université Paris-Sud. His thesis project at Sorbonne Université explored Two-dimensional Graphical Perception in Virtual Reality.
With a background in software development and graphic design, Lucas is interested in exploring three-dimensional experimental interfaces. In his doctoral studies, he aims to further develop the concept and application of »Virtual Dissection« with a particular focus on the investigation of tangible feedback in interactive data visualizations within virtual reality environments towards the attainment of knowledge into form-function relationships on functional vertebrate morphology.
