SYNOPSIS:

This seminar covers the latest advances and various research topics on geometric and visual modeling, physics-based simulation, mathematical tools for modeling, computational techniques for physical simulation, and a wide array of visual computing applications such as CAD/CAM, graphics, visualization, and medical imaging. A large variety of papers from relevant fields will be presented and discussed in the seminar.

PREREQUISITES:

The seminar is open to everyone!
