A special faculty shout-out to CS Professor H. Andrew Schwartz as he makes his way to the World Government Summit in Dubai this weekend (Feb. 11-13).
The World Government Summit is a "global platform dedicated to shaping the future of government worldwide. Leaders from a number of countries and from varying fields gather to exchange information and knowledge on government, futurism, technology, and innovation. Considered a "gateway to the future" the Summit functions as a gathering place to analyze future trends, issues, and opportunities facing humanity.

Among projects are:
1. 3D geometric acquisition method based on phase shifting fringe structured light method 2. Manifold splines in geometric modeling 3. Dynamic surface tracking and registration with large deformations 4. Global surface parameterization 5. Meta-material design/surface fabrication based on conformal geometry 6. Virtual colonoscopy/conformal brain mapping 7. Geometric routing for wireless sensor networks 8. Facial expression Capture
Students can capture 3D shapes, process geometric data and replicate using 3D printing. Research efforts focus on establishing discrete geometric theories , digital geometric algorithms and applications in engineering and medical fields.
The CyberCardia platform can be used to test and validate medical devices faster and at a far lower cost than existing methods. CyberCardia, which is funded through NSF's cyber-physical systems program, can also be used to design optimal, patient-specific device therapies, thereby lowering the risk to the patient.
