Diana Arellano

Diana Arrellano works as R&D Engineer at the Research and Development Department of the Institute of Animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Born in Peru and raised in Venezuela, she obtained a Bachelor and Master in Computer Sciences from the University Simon Bolivar. In 2006, she moved to Mallorca, Spain to continue her studies in virtual characters and emotions. In 2012, she obtained her PhD at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), Spain, where she developed a system that made use of ontologies to represent the real and emotional context of virtual characters, and manifest their emotions, mood and personality through facial expression. Although most of her time and research is focused in Affective Computing, Arellano is trying very hard to learn German and bring Calliope to the next step.
