DESCRIPTION:Zoë Marschner\nAbstract: Choosing a geometric representation 
 is often about trade-offs—representations beyond the ubiquitous triangle
  mesh can make certain tasks fundamentally easier\, but come with new chal
 lenges. In this talk\, I will give two examples of these trade-offs I have
  encountered in my research through a discussion of some issues that arise
  when computing geometric intersections on higher-order patches and neural
  SDFs. I’ll then discuss some of my work that builds towards solving the
 se issues: detecting intersections between higher-order patches using an o
 ptimization technique called sum-of-squares relaxation ("Sum-of-Squares Ge
 ometry Processing"\, SIGGRAPH Asia 2021) and computing constructive solid 
 geometry operations on neural SDFs ("Constructive Solid Geometry on Neural
  Signed Distance Fields"\, SIGGRAPH Asia 2023).\n\nBio: Zoë is a first ye
 ar PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University working on Geometry Processin
 g with Keenan Crane. Before that\, she received her bachelor's from Massac
 husetts Institute of Technology where she did research with Justin Solomon
