Head of the Applied Geometry lab
Our
lab focuses on applying discrete differential geometry to a wide range of
fields and applications. In particular, we approach computations from a geometric
standpoint in order to provide differential,
yet readily-discretizable computational foundations.
Our efforts include:
·
Discrete
Exterior Calculus: providing the means to handle basic computations without
violating the symmetries and invariants that differential modeling defines
for predictive purposes.
·
Simulation
techniques: from Computational
Fluid Dynamics (circulation-preserving discrete fluids and discrete variational
fluids) to Discrete Elasticity (thin
shells and deformable objects)..
·
Meshing:
2D and 3D sampling, meshing, and remeshing for
accurate simulations.
·
Graphics:
surface modeling via mesh processing, compression, animation, etc…
Current members: Yiying Tong,
Eva Kanso, Patrick Mullen, and Alex McKenzie.
Research Community Involvement, Past and Present
Associate Editor of the ACM Transaction on Graphics journal; program committee member for the
ACM SIGGRAPH conference and other international symposia; chair of the Symposium of Computer Animation and
the Symposium on Geometry Processing;
review panelist for NSF and DOE programs.
