Biography:Alla Sheffer
Alla Sheffer FRSC is a Canadian researcher in computer graphics, geometric modeling, geometry processing, and mesh generation, particularly known for her research on mesh parameterization and angle-based flattening.[1] She is currently a professor of computer science at the University of British Columbia.
Education and career
Sheffer was educated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science in 1991, a master's degree in computer science in 1995, and a Ph.D. in computer science in 1999.[2] Her dissertation, Geometric Modeling and Applied Computational Geometry, was supervised by Michel Bercovier.[3]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, she became an assistant professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 2001. She moved to the University of British Columbia in 2003, and became a full professor there in 2013.[2]
Recognition
The Canadian Human–Computer Communications Society gave Sheffer their Achievement Award in 2018, "for her numerous highly impactful contributions to the field of computer graphics research".[1]
In 2020, Sheffer was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada[4]and a member of the ACM SIGGRAPH Academy.[5] In 2021, she was elected as a Fellow of IEEE.[6] She was named a 2021 ACM Fellow "for contributions to geometry processing, mesh parameterization, and perception-driven shape analysis and modeling".[7]
