  Welcome to the Applied Geometry Lab webpage!

 
 
The Applied Geometry Lab at Caltech is located in Pasadena, California. We approach computations from a geometric standpoint in order to provide numerical tools that intrinsically respect key defining properties like symmetries and invariants. In particular, we focus on discrete differential modeling, i.e., the development of differential, yet readily-discretizable foundations of computations, with a wide spectrum of applications from discrete geometry processing to solid and fluid mechanics.

We work in close collaboration with Peter Schröder's Caltech Multires Modeling Group, Professor Eva Kanso's group from USC, Dr Yiying Tong's group from MSU, and Jerrold E. Marsden's group.

Our research is sponsored in large part by the National Science Foundation (CAREER, CARGO, and ERC grants), the Department of Energy, the Okawa Foundation, and by gifts from Pixar Animation Studios, Intel, nVIDIA, and Microsoft.

Recent updates:


Check out our new papers! The point-set reconstruction one (Alliez et al.) won the best paper award at SGP, sweeet.
Keenan Crane (former undergrad from UIUC) will join the fun at Caltech this fall. Yeay!
The Discrete Differential Geometry course notes from SIGGRAPH 2006 are now online. The corresponding slides and additional documents are available from Dr Eitan Grinspun's DDG website. Thanks to all the participants; it was great fun once again this year.
