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.

Mission

Development of 3D scanning techniques. Development of computational conformal geometric theories and algorithm and applied for computer graphics, computer vision, geometric modeling, networking and medical imaging.

Details

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.

Mission

This NSF-funded and Stony Brook-led project includes collaborators from seven leading universities and centers working together to develop far more realistic cardiac device models than what currently exists.

Details

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.
