29 oct. 11h - 12h : 35 Years Up and Down the Visualization Pipeline
Abstract: In this talk, I will present a personal perspective of 35 years of visualization research starting from almost the beginning of the field as a discipline of its own and concluding with some of our more recent research results. While the biographic part is meant to remind us of how far we have come and encourage young researchers even on non-linear career paths, the presented approaches cover scientific visualization for volumes, flows and particles, which were developed over the years in many interdisciplinary projects at the University of Stuttgart.
Thomas Ertl is a retired professor of computer science at the University of Stuttgart. Until 2023, he led a research group in the Visualization and Interactive Systems Institute (VIS) and was a co-director of the Visualization Research Center (VISUS). He received a MSc in computer science from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a PhD in theoretical astrophysics from the University of Tuebingen. From 2015-2018 he served as Vice President of Research of the University of Stuttgart and from 2019-2023, he was the spokesperson of the SimTech Cluster of Excellence. His research interests include visualization, computer graphics and human computer interaction in general with a focus on volume rendering, flow and particle visualization, parallel and hardware accelerated rendering, large datasets and interactive exploration, visual analytics of text collections and social media with applications to geographic information and digital humanities. Thomas Ertl served on numerous program committees and as a papers co-chair for most conferences in the field. From 2007-2010 he was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Graphics (TVCG) and in 2011/2012 he served as Chairman of the Eurographics Association. He received the Outstanding Technical Contribution Award, the Distinguished Career Award, and the Medal of the Eurographics Association as well as the Technical Achievement Award and the Visualization Career Award of the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. In 2007 he was elected as a Member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. He received Honorary Doctorates from the Vienna University of Technology and from the University of Magdeburg.

28 oct. 16h10 - 17h10 : Physical Simulation for Fabrication.
Abstract: Computational fabrication has become an important field over the last few years, leading to the possibility of fabricating increasingly complex personalized objects. However, designing such objects is often a time-consuming and difficult task. In this talk, I will discuss three projects using physical simulation and geometric modeling to simulate and optimize three different kinds of complex fabricated objects. I will talk about using the shape-memory property of 3D-printed PLA to create smooth curved shells. Then I will present our project to cover 3D objects with LEDs using classic PCBs. Finally, I will discuss our latest project concerning fabricated granular material.
Camille Schreck occupies an Inria Starting Faculty Position (ISPF) at INRIA Grand-Est in the MFX team (Matter from Graphics) since 2020. His research interests focus on physical simulation and modeling natural phenomena. He obtained his PhD degree in 2016 from the University of Grenoble-Alpes under the supervision of Stefanie Hahmann and Damien Rohmer. He got an engineering degree in 2013 from the school ENSIMAG (Grenoble INP) of Grenoble. Before joining INRIA, he did a postdoc at IST Austria in Chris Wojtan Group. He served in the program committees of international conferences SMI, Pacific Graphics, Eurographics short papers, Siggraph Asia Technical Communications and Posters.
