Senior Software Engineer of Urban-Rural Systems
Michael Joos is a software engineer specialising in real-time 3D applications. During his university years, he took an internship at SIEMENS' Corporate Technology R&D department in Munich, where he first started to develop 3D interactive applications. After finishing his studies, he took on the role of software engineer for the video games industry for nearly 10 years. He has also taught computer science courses at the DigiPen Institute of Technology, and worked for a social media company as a full stack engineer.
Given his experience with interactive virtual 3D environments, he helps the different teams at the Future Cities Laboratory with their project requirements, such as generating 3D visualisations of heat emissions for the Cooler Calmer Singapore project, develop a cycling virtual-reality simulator with the Engaging Mobility team, and guide and mentor computer science interns.
