LOCATION DETAILS

The workshop will be held in the Large Conference Room (LCR) of the O'Reilly Insitute in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). A map is provided here for directions within the campus (http://www.tcd.ie/Maps/oreilly.html). TCD itself should be easy to find as it is a major landmark in Dublin and is in the very heart of the city.

PROGRAM CHANGES

PLEASE NOTE: A few changes have been made to the schedule. Two papers have been cancelled in session 2 and some papers have been moved. An extra Invited Speaker (Matthias Teschner) will be speaking in the start of Session 3.

08:00 - 09:00      Registration

08:30 - 09:00      Welcome

09:00 - 10:00     Keynote Talk

MIGUEL OTADUY: Interactive Simulation of Deformations and Contact - Accuracy and performance trade-offs

Speaker Bio: Miguel A. Otaduy is a Research Associate (Oberassistent) at the Computer Graphics Laboratory at ETH Zurich, working with Prof. Markus Gross. He received his BS (2000) in Electrical Engineering from Mondragon Unibertsitatea (Spain), and his MS (2003) and PhD (2004) in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He completed his PhD thesis in the field of haptic rendering under the advisory of Prof. Ming Lin, and supported by fellowships from the Government of the Basque Country and the UNC Computer Science Alumni.

Between 1995 and 2000, he was a research assistant at Ikerlan research lab, and between 2000 and 2004 he was a research assistant with the Gamma group at UNC. In the summer of 2003 he worked at Immersion Medical. He is at ETH Zurich since 2005.

His research areas include physically-based simulation, haptic rendering, collision detection, and geometric algorithms, and he is particularly interested in the simulation and interaction with virtual objects in contact, with application to virtual prototyping, computational medicine, animation, or videogames. He leads the involvement of the Computer Graphics Laboratory in the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research CoMe (Computational Medicine).
