Hans-Christian Hege is head of the department Data Analysis and
Visualization at Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and Honorary Professor of Scientific Visualization at German Film School - University for Digital Production, Elstal. He studied physics, mathematics and philosophy at Free University Berlin and worked as research assistant in quantum field theory and numerical physics at the Institute for Theory of Elementary Particles from 1984-1989. Since June 1989 he is with ZIB, initially as scientific consultant; in 1991 he established the Data Analysis and Visualization Department. In his group the visualization and data analysis software Amira has been developed. In 2003 he became Honorary Professor of Scientific Visualization at German Film School - University for Digital Production, now Film School Babelsberg.

He is co-founder of the companies Mental Images (1986), Indeed – Visual Concepts (1999, now Visage Imaging), and Lenne3D (2005). He acted as CEO of the Gesellschaft für Digitale Simulation (1987-1989) and Indeed Visual Concepts (1999-2003).

He co-authored more than 200 research papers, and edited books and special issues on visualization. He is member of the editorial boards of 'Mathematics + Visualization' (Springer book series) and 'VideoMath' (Springer video/dvd series). He established the conference series Visualization and Mathematics and co-organized international summer schools, workshops, and the film festival VideoMath. He served as chair for several international conferences in Visualization and Computer Graphics and as program committee member for more than 40 IEEE, ACM, Eurographics, SIAM/EMS and other conferences.

Morphology celebrates a renaissance. The development of new imaging
techniques in conjunction with computer-aided reconstruction of
morphological structures has opened new and fascinating opportunities:

- intra- and interspecific morphological variability and characteristics can be accurately described
- population averaged morpologies can be created to represent standard
morpologies
- 3D/4D atlases can be built for use as spatial
/ spatio-temporal reference systems
- functional models can be constructed on base of morphological models.

A processing pipeline will be presented that allows to reconstruct
morphology based on a variety of image data types. Furthermore, various applications, e.g. integration of gene expression data or physiological data will be sketched. Finally, ideas about the use of spatial and spatio-temporal reference systems in future information systems and in-silico models will be presented.
