Invited Speakers
Leif Kobbelt - Mesh and Surface Processing
Leif Kobbelt completed his PhD at the University of Karlsruhe in 1994. After a postdoc stay at the University of Wisconsin he joined the Computer Graphics Group at the University of Erlangen in 1996 and completed his Habilitation in 1999. Shortly after being appointed an associate professor at MPI Informatik in Saarbrücken, he received an offer for a full professorship from RWTH Aachen University and moved to Aachen in 2001 where he is now the head of the Computer Graphics and Multimedia Group. His research interests include most areas of Computer Graphics and Computer Vision with a focus on Geometry Processing, Multiresolution and Freeform Modeling, 3D Model Optimization, and the efficient handling of polygonal meshes. He is actively involved in diverse research collaborations in application fields ranging from CAD/CAM and medical image processing to mobile multimedia applications, simulation sciences, and psychology. He cooperates with research groups and companies in Europe, North America and Asia. Leif's research work during the last years resulted in numerous widely cited publications in top scientific journals and international conferences. For his scientific contributions he received several renowned awards, including the Heinz-Maier-Leibnitz Award 2000 from the German Federal Government and the Outstanding Technical Contribution Award 2004 from the Eurographics Association. In 2008 he was named a Eurographics fellow. He frequently serves on program committees of major international conferences and organized and chaired several workshops and conferences.

Andrew McCulloch - Biomechanical and Electrophysiological Modeling
Dr. Andrew McCulloch is Professor of Bioengineering and Medicine and Jacobs School Distinguished Scholar at the University of California San Diego, where he joined the faculty in 1987. Dr. McCulloch is a Principal Investigator of the National Biomedical Computation Resource and Co-Director of the Cardiac Biomedical Science and Engineering Center. He served as Chair of Bioengineering from 2005 to 2008 is currently Director of the HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Graduate Training Program and the UCSD Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Specialization in Multi-Scale Biology.Dr. McCulloch was educated at the University of Auckland, New Zealand in Engineering Science and Physiology receiving his Ph.D. in 1986. Dr. McCulloch was an NSF Presidential Young Investigator and is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Bio-Medical Engineering Society, and is currently chair of the Physiome and Systems Biology Committee of the International Union of Physiological Sciences.
Dr. McCulloch's lab uses experimental and computational models to investigate the relationships between the cellular and extracellular structure of cardiac muscle and the electrical and mechanical function of the whole heart during ventricular remodeling, heart failure and arrhythmia. Dr. McCullochs talk will be about creating meshes from patients for biomechanical and electrophysiological modeling applications. Talk abstract
Pierre Alliez - Geometry Processing
Pierre Alliez completed his PhD at Telecom ParisTech in 2000. After a postdoc stay at the University of Southern California with Prof. Mathieu Desbrun, he joined Inria Sophia-Antipolis - Mediterranee in 2002, where he is Senior Researcher since 2010. He has authored many scientific publications and several book chapters on topics commonly referred to as geometry processing: mesh compression, surface reconstruction, mesh generation, surface remeshing and mesh parameterization. He co-authored a book entitled Polygon Mesh Processing. He is an associate editor and developer of the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library and an associate editor of the ACM Transactions on Graphics since 2010. He was awarded in 2005 the EUROGRAPHICS young researcher award for his contributions to computer graphics and geometry processing. He was co-chair of the Symposium on Geometry Processing in 2008 and of Pacific Graphics in 2010. He was awarded in 2011 a Starting Grant from the European Research Council on Robust Digital Geometry Processing.
