Biography:Bettina Speckmann
Bettina Speckmann (born 1972)[1] is a German computer scientist who heads the Applied Geometric Algorithms group in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Eindhoven University of Technology in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where she is a professor.[2] The main topics of her research are computational geometry and information visualization, especially focusing on the geometry and visualization of objects in motion.
Education and career
Speckmann earned a diploma from the University of Münster in 1996.[3] She completed her Ph.D. in 2001 at the University of British Columbia under the joint supervision of Jack Snoeyink and David G. Kirkpatrick.[2][3][4] Before joining the faculty at TU Eindhoven, she did postdoctoral research with Emo Welzl at ETH Zurich.[2][3]
She is a member of the Computational Geometry Steering Committee,[5] and has been program chair for the Symposium on Computational Geometry (2018), International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (2015), and International Symposium on Graph Drawing (2011).[2]
Recognition
In 2011, Speckmann was the first winner of the Netherlands Prize for ICT Research, given by the Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, for her work on geographic information systems.[6] She was a member of the Global Young Academy from 2011 to 2016.[3]
Personal
Speckmann is the daughter of German neuroscientist and artist Erwin-Josef Speckmann.[1]
