Professor for Computational Design at ETH Zurich
I will start as a Full Professor for Computational Design at ETH Zurich in 2024. We will be embedded in the Design++ research center, working interdisciplinary at the interface of computer science, engineering, and architecture.
SIGGRAPH 2022 Technical Papers Awards
Our paper Computational Design of High-level Interlocking Puzzles has received a Honorable Mention at SIGGRAPH 2022.
We will be presenting two papers at SIGGRAPH 2022
Computation Fabrication Seminar
The Computational Fabrication Seminar, a weekly web series showcasing exciting and inspiring research, is starting again. The first twelve speakers have been announced!
We're hiring!
I am looking for highly qualified Bachelor’s and Master’s students to apply for the PhD program at IST Austria. Research is performed in an English-speaking work environment. The deadline for applications is Jan 8, 2022 for a PhD entry in September 2022. Late applications are possible in exceptional cases (in this case, the student should directly contact me).
In our graphics groups, possible thesis topics are centered around physics-based simulation, geometry processing, numerical methods, and computational fabrication. Our curiosity-driven, interdisciplinary research environment also provides opportunities for collaborative projects with physicists, mathematicians, and neuroscientists.
Keywords for potential research directions:
- efficient and robust algorithms for animating physics
- machine learning for geometry and volumetric data
- data-driven simulation techniques
- algorithms for computer animation
- computational fabrication
- numerical methods for geometry processing and simulation
- interactive design tools
- connectomics
- program synthesis
Eurographics Best PhD Award
I’m extremely proud of my former PhD student Ruslan Guseinov who has received the prestigious Eurographics Best PhD Award. Big Congratulations!!!
Web Series on Computational Fabrication
