Education Profile

  • Senior Lecturer of Computer Science (venia docendi), TU Wien, Austria (2016)
  • PhD in Computer Science (Dr. techn.), TU Wien, Austria (2005)
  • MSc in Computer Science (Dipl.-Ing.), TU Wien, Austria (2002)

Research Interests

The research interest of Professor Viola is scalable technology for interactive molecular visualization with the ultimate goal of constructing, visualizing, and modeling  the entire complex biological cell at atomistic detail. This technology will allow people to interact, explore, study, and understand the life at nanoscale.
