Dennis Allerkamp studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Hannover and wrote his diploma thesis on the computation of medial sets respective curved surfaces in Euclidean space. He received his diploma in mathematics (master's equivalent) in December 2004.

Since then he is working at the Division of Computer Graphics of the University of Hannover as a research assistant and Ph.D. candidate. Beside his commitment to theWelfenlab Competition 2005 and 2006 he was primarily involved in the HAPTEX project.

His re­se­arch in­te­rests are in the area of hap­tics, hu­man-com­pu­ter in­ter­faces, as well as me­di­al axis.
