Short CV Dec. 1999: PhD thesis from University of Bordeaux I, Subject: multiresolution for geometric modeling (on splines, and implicits) From Sept. 2000: assistant professor at Polytech’Lille engineering school Sept 2003 ?Sept 2005: INRIA temporary full-time research position Research advising: 2 completed PhD thesis (J. Lenoir and J. Dequidt) 2 on the run (A. Theetten and R. Vatavu) 6 Master thesis advised since 1997. introduction Main research context: ??real-time?? physical simulation Allow users to interact on virtual models that behave like real-life ones Real-time physical simulation for end-point applications involves several points: Collision detection and response Mechanical modeling Visual modeling (geometry, texturing, etc…) Interaction with human (possibly haptic): not covered by the whole of this expose (only interaction between mechanical systems here) ? For designing a sophisticated model in a simulator, we usually see an object as a four-layered box: ??multi-layered objects?? [Meseure 02] Each layer is a wide research subject in itself The question to know how each interacts with others raises many interesting research problems (e.g. dynamic cutting?) introduction Medical simulation is an intrinsically complex application field: big issue to provide complex protocols simulation speed, visual and mechanical accuracy are crucial Strong application potential (teaching, pre-op) introduction Some physical phenomena are known to be complex … introduction … but most are more complex than we usually perceive. introduction In physical simulation: Each model has its own cost, and representation limits introduction For a given object, choice of model usually (implicitely) depends heavily on the context of use As computer scientists, we would like: Flexibility, Modularity, Re-usability, Etc…, not the case at all so far, and there is much more than coding here introduction How to overcome such limits for real-time physical simulation
