Bernd Bickel
Bernd Bickel is a computer scientist interested in computer graphics and its overlap into animation, biomechanics, material science, and digital fabrication. His main objective is to push the boundaries of how digital content can be efficiently created, simulated, and reproduced using advanced 3D printing technology. Bickel’s work focuses on two closely related challenges: (1) developing novel modeling and simulation methods, and (2) investigating efficient representation and editing algorithms for materials and functional objects. Recent work includes: theoretical foundations and practical algorithms for measuring and modeling the deformation behavior of soft tissue; simulating and reproducing fundamental properties, such as elasticity, surface reflectance, and subsurface scattering; and computational design systems for efficiently creating functional artifacts such as deformable objects and mechanical systems.
Marco Livesu
Marco Livesu is a permanent researcher at the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR IMATI). He took his PhD at University of Cagliari (2010-2014), after which he was post doctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia (2014-2015), University of Cagliari (2015) and CNR IMATI (2015-2016). His main research interests are digital modeling for additive/subtractive manufacturing, and mesh generation/optimization, for which he owns two international patents. In 2015 he was one of the recipients of the ERCIM Alain Bensoussan PostDoctoral Fellowship, which he refused to join CNR IMATI. He is the creator and developer of CinoLib, a C++ library for processing general polygonal and polyhedral meshes.
Jonas Martinez
Jonàs Martínez is a researcher at Inria.
He received a Ph.D. degree from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2013, and was awarded an ERCIM fellowship (FP7 Marie Curie actions).
He worked in the frame of the ERC Shapeforge project, which aims at helping users design new, complex objects from examples, in the context of additive manufacturing.
His current recent research lies at the intersection between fabrication, computer graphics, and geometry processing. He published several papers on these topics at high-impact journals and conferences and contributed algorithms to the IceSL modeler and slicer for additive manufacturing.
