Frank Langbein’s Summary

I am a lecturer in computer science and a member of the Geometric Computing and Computer Vision research group at Cardiff University. I received a diploma in mathematics from Stuttgart University in 1998 and a PhD from Cardiff University in 2003. My research interests lie in the areas of geometric and solid modelling, computational geometry, differential geometry and related topics in computer graphics. I am also interested in physical modelling, in particular for quantum and nano technology, and some aspects of parallel computing. I have been working on reverse engineering geometric models with a focus on beautification and design intent detection, detecting approximate symmetries and regular patterns, geometric constraints, reliefs, mesh processing and filtering, curve smoothing, free-form surfaces and point-based modelling. At the Institute of Visual Computing I am co-leading the sub-programme on vision-based geometric modelling and the interface with science. I am a member of the American Mathematical Society, the IEEE and the Geometric Modelling Society. My teaching responsibilities include final year BSc graphics and artificial intelligence modules. I was also involved in some public engagement in science events.
