22 September 2015 : Talk Dr. Min Tang, Zhejiang University, China

Title: Fast and Reliable Collision Handling for High-quality Physically-based Simulation

Tuesday, 22 September 2015, at 4 p.m.
Centre Universitaire d'Informatique, Battelle A, room 432 (3rd floor)

 

 

Dr. Min Tang is currently a professor of the college of computer science and technology at Zhejiang University, China. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from Zhejiang University in 1994, 1996 and 1999, respectively. From June 2003 to May 2004, he was a visiting scholar at Wichita State University, USA. From April 2007 to April 2008, he was a visiting scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. His research interests include physically-based simulation and GPU-based computation acceleration. He has published more than 90 journal and conference papers, including some papers at SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, ACM Transaction on Graphics, IEEE TVCG, etc.

Abstract:

In this talk, he will introduce the recent research results on collision detection and collision response, cloth simulation, GPU acceleration, etc., from 2008 to 2015. He will briefly talk about the challenges they are facing and the solutions they have proposed. The main contributions are efficient and robust collision handling/simulation algorithms. He will also talk about multi-core/GPU acceleration techniques for physically-based simulations, such as high-resolution cloth simulation.
