Professor Hamann's research and teaching areas are geometric modeling, visualization, and computer graphics. Geometric modeling studies techniques for describing curves, surfaces, and higher-dimensional geometries. Geometric modeling is the foundation of computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Visualization is concerned with the "conversion" of numerical data into meaningful, computer-generated images. Typical applications include fluid flow, weather, and medical data rendering.

Bernd Hamann is an Acting Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of California at Davis and an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Mississippi State University. From 1991 to 1995, he was a faculty member at the NSF Engineering Research Center for Computational Field Simulation at Mississippi State University. His research and teaching interests are scientific visualization, computer graphics, and computer-aided geometric design (CAGD).

Hamann received a B.S. in computer science, a B.S. in mathematics, and an M.S. in computer science from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Arizona State University in 1991.

Hamann was awarded a 1992 Research Initiation Award (RIA) by Mississippi State University and a 1992 RIA by the National Science Foundation. He was selected as one of two nominees from Mississippi State University for a 1995 Presidential Faculty Fellows (PFF) Award of the National Science Foundation and, at Mississippi State University, was nominated for a 1995 Outstanding Researcher Award and a 1995 Giles Distinguished Professorship. In 1995, he was awarded a Hearin-Hess Distinguished Professorship in Engineering by the College of Engineering, Mississippi State University. Hamann received a 1996 CAREER Award by the National Science Foundation.

Hamann is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
