Area: Geometry and Modeling Bruno Levy Inria Research France

Brief Bio
Bruno Levy is a senior researcher with Inria, and the head of the ALICE group (geometry processing and computer fabrication) that he created in 2004 (now 8 faculties).
He received the Inria/French Academy of Sciences young researcher award in 2011.
He is associate editor for ACM TOG and Graphical Models, and he is a member of the steering committee of SMA/SPM. He was paper co-chair of Eurographics 2014, Pacific raphic 2013, SGP 2010, SPM 2008 and 2007.

During the first part of his carreer (2000-2010) he focused on mesh parameterization,
texture mapping and conversion between representat ions (e.g. mesh to Splines). More recently, in the frame of his ERC projects GOODSHAPE and VORPALINE, he worked on sampling (vector quantization) and meshing (isotropic, anisotropic, hex-dominant mesh generation).

He currently works on scientific computing and computational physics, developping umerical algorithms for solving partial differential equations (such as Monge-Ampere involved in ptimal transport) and practical geometric algorithms (robust predicates, anisotropic Voronoi diagrams in high dimensions and hexahedral meshing), with applications in fluid dynamics and astrophysics.
