Biography
Alla Sheffer is an associate professor in the Computer Science department at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Sheffer investigates algorithmic aspects of geometry processing as they relate to computer graphics, focusing on several fundamental problems of mesh manipulation and editing. Her recent research addresses algorithms for mesh parameterization, processing of developable surfaces, mesh modeling and editing, reconstruction, and shape analysis. Her work on these topics had been published at top venues, including Siggraph, Siggraph Asia, Eurographics,and the Symposium on Geometry Processing. She is the recipient of a Killam Junior Research Fellowship (2009) and an IBM Faculty Award. Alla co-chaired the Symposium on Geometry Processing, the leading geometry processing conference, and was on the PC of most major graphics conferences including SIGGRAPH and Eurographics. She is the sketches and posters co-chair for SIGGRAPH Asia 2010. Her past and present industrial collaborators include Adobe systems, IBM, Terrappoint inc., Rafael, and Sandia National Laboratories.
