Olga Sorkine-Hornung wins SGP test-of-time award

This year¡¯s prestigious test-of-time award at the Symposium on Geometry Processing SGP 2022 was given to professor Olga Sorkine-Hornung for her paper on As-Rigid-As-Possible Surface Modeling. She wrote the paper with her postdoc advisor Marc Alexa. The award honours papers from more than ten years ago that had a substantial impact on the field of geometry processing.

Olga Sorkine-??Hornung is a professor at the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, where she leads the Interactive Geometry Lab at the Institute of Visual Computing. Her work focuses on the theoretical foundations and practical algorithms for digital content creation tasks, such as shape representation and editing, artistic modeling techniques, digital fabrication, computer animation and digital image manipulation. Further, she also investigates fundamental challenges in digital geometry processing, including reconstruction, filtering, parameterization, meshing and compression of geometric data. She has received multiple awards, including the ACM SIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award in 2011.
