DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mark Pauly\, IC\, EPFL\nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I will
  outline a general computational approach for material-aware design of com
 plex 3D models. The key step is to identify suitable geometric abstractio
 ns of physical properties that enable effective computations with high pre
 dictive accuracy. I will show several examples of this approach for intera
 ctive design with inextensible and auxetic materials\, and for performati
 ve optimization of light re-directing surfaces. These studies illustrate h
 ow to leverage geometric insights\, mathematical theory\, and advanced al
 gorithms to build effective computational tools for material-aware design 
 of performative geometry.\n\nBio:\nMark Pauly joined EPFL in 2009 and is c
 urrently full professor at the School of Computer and Communication Scien
 ces. He received his PhD in 2003 from ETH Zurich\, spent two years as a po
 stdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and four years as assistant prof
 essor at ETH Zurich. His research interests include computer graphics\, g
 eometry processing\, computational design\, digital fabrication\, and arch
 itectural geometry. He received the ETH medal for outstanding dissertatio
 n in 2003\, the Eurographics Young Researcher Award in 2006\, an ERC sta
 rting grant in 2010\, and the Eurographics Outstanding Technical Contribut
 ions Award in 2016.
