My mentor is Elaine Cohen. She is nice, and she does many things. Her current areas of interest and research include:
Algorithms, representations, and high level design operators for complex models in computer graphics, geometric modeling, and mechanical designReverse engineering and data fitting
Integrated process planning and computer aided manufacturing
Rapid prototyping
Scientific visualizations
Physically based modeling for animation and design
New paradigms for modeling
Kinematics, dynamics, and design of mechanical systems and assemblies
Selected applications projects including medical modeling and imaging, and paleontological reconstructions
