  Welcome to the Applied Geometry Lab webpage!

 
 
The Applied Geometry Lab at Caltech is located in Pasadena, California. We approach computations from a geometric standpoint in order to provide numerical tools that intrinsically respect key defining properties like symmetries and invariants. In particular, we focus on discrete differential modeling, i.e., the development of differential, yet readily-discretizable foundations of computations, with a wide spectrum of applications from discrete geometry processing to solid and fluid mechanics.

We work in close collaboration with Peter Schröder's Caltech Multires Modeling Group, Professor Eva Kanso's group from USC, Dr Yiying Tong's group from MSU, and Jerrold E. Marsden's group.

Our research is sponsored in large part by the National Science Foundation (CAREER, CARGO, CMMI, CPA G&V, ITR, and ERC grants), the Department of Energy, the Okawa Foundation, and by gifts from Pixar Animation Studios, Intel, and Microsoft.

Recent updates:

Take heed, Lily has turned into Dr. Kharevych as of September 11th!
Fernando de Goes (former undergrad from UNICAMP/IMPA) will join the fun at Caltech this fall. Yeay!
Three new doctors to celebrate: Dr Stern, Dr Donaldson, and Dr Pavlov graduated this year. Congrats!
The Discrete Differential Geometry course notes from SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 online on the DDG website. Thanks to all the participants; it was great fun once again this year.
