Nico EllHi, my name is Nico Ell. I currently live near Frankfurt, Germany and have a passion for computer graphics, GPU programming and visualization. In my youth, the interest in digital art soon developed into the wish for a more generative and programmatic approach. My studies in computational visualistics helped me a lot in this, and especially the capabilities of GPUs sparked my interest.
At a high level, I enjoy developing software which creates something visual or enables others in their creative process. At a low level, I want to continuously improve my understanding of hardware to squeeze out the last bit of performance.
The video game industry offers such an environment where I can live my passion. However, I also see interesting challenges in many other areas including filmmaking, medical applications, augmented and virtual reality, simulation, automotive or Big Data.
