DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mark Pauly\, Geometric Computing Laboratory\, EPFL Schoo
 l of Computer and Communication Sciences\, Institute of Computer and Commu
 nication Sciences\nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I will outline a general comp
 utational approach for material-aware design of complex 3D models. The key
  step is to identify suitable geometric abstractions of physical properti
 es that enable effective computations with high predictive accuracy. I wil
 l show several examples of this approach for interactive design with inex
 tensible and auxetic materials\, and for performative optimization of ligh
 t re-directing surfaces. These studies illustrate how to leverage geometri
 c insights\, mathematical theory\, and advanced algorithms to build effec
 tive computational tools for material-aware design of performative geometr
 y.\n\nBio:\nMark Pauly joined EPFL in 2009 and is currently full professor
  at the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. He received his Ph
 D in 2003 from ETH Zurich\, spent two years as a postdoctoral scholar at S
 tanford University and four years as assistant professor at ETH Zurich. Hi
 s research interests include computer graphics\, geometry processing\, co
 mputational design\, digital fabrication\, and architectural geometry. He
  received the ETH medal for outstanding dissertation in 2003\, the Eurog
 raphics Young Researcher Award in 2006\, an ERC starting grant in 2010\, 
 and the Eurographics Outstanding Technical Contributions Award in 2016.
