> Subject: Workshop on Physics and Interactive Virtual Reality
>
> Dear Blender Foundation Members,
>
> my name is Thomas Buervenich, and I would like to invite you to
> give a presentation at a workshop we are organizing under the title
> "Bridging Between Physics Simulation and Interactive Virtual Reality".
> It will be held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) at
> the University of Bielefeld, Germany, on 24/25 September 2008.
> An outline of the proposed workshop is attached to this email.
>
> Given the focus of the workshop, a presentation on the implementation
> of physics in Blender and its game engine would be most informative,
> although other suggestions are encouraged.
>
> Note that while this email is meant as a first contact, in case
> of your acceptance an official invitation will be sent out by
> the ZiF at a later stage. Travel expenses, local transportation
> and accomodation will be covered. More information regarding workshop
> program and participants will be available shortly.
>
> If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to
> contact me.
>
> Looking forward to your response,
>
> Yours Sincerely,
>
> Thomas J. Buervenich, Ph.D.

> P.S.:
>
> To provide some personal background, I am currently Junior Fellow
> working at the Frankfurt Insitute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) in
> Frankfurt/Main, Germany. I graduated in 2002 at the University
> of Frankfurt and subsequently spent two years as a Postdoc at the
> Theory Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and one year
> in the Theory Group of the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics.
> My research fields include (theoretical) nuclear astrophysics, nuclear
> structure, and laser-matter interactions. Other interests lie in
> digital image processing and computer games, which is where the idea
> for this workshop has germinated.
