Biography
Dr. Stephen Mann is a professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Mann's interests are in the area of modeling surfaces for use in design of cars, airplanes, etc., and for using in modeling objects for computer animation. These surfaces are formed of combinations of smaller sub-surfaces called patches. He has a long time interest in triangular shaped patches. He is also interested in Geometric Algebra, a mathematical abstraction that provides additional primitives and operators, allowing the manipulation of arbitrary dimensional subspaces in a manner similar to a vector in a vector's space. His interest is in how to use Geometric Algebra to solve problems in computer graphics and surface modeling.
