PhD position at Groningen University

[Gert Vegter]

		PhD Position (four years) 

			available at the 
		Department of Mathematics and Computing Science
			Groningen University

			for the project

		COMPUTATION AND MANIPULATION OF IMPLICIT SURFACES

A PhD position starting this fall (ultimately January 2000) is
available at the Department of Mathematics and Computing Science
of Groningen University, The Netherlands, in the group Scientific
Computing and Imaging. Funding will be for four years. 

The research program is concerned with the development of fast methods
for representation, manipulation and visualization of implicit surfaces.
This type of shapes has become an alternative to classical spline-surfaces
in the design and animation of free-form and deformable objects.
The development of these techniques will be based on theoretical
results from well-established mathematical disciplines like
differential geometry and Morse theory, to obtain algorithms that are
adaptive to geometric features like curvature.

This work will be carried out in close cooperation with groups at the
Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris (M. Pocchiola) and
INRIA Rocquencourt/Paris (A. Verroust).

Applicants should have a degree in in computer science, with a strong
background in mathematics, or a degree in mathematics, with a strong
background in computer science. Experience in geometric computing or
computer graphics will be appreciated.
