SHORT BIOGRAPHY:
Marc Alexa heads the Computer Graphics group at TU Berlin and is known for his work in creating, processing, and manufacturing shapes, as well as intuitive interfaces for these tasks, for which he has been awarded numerous cross-disciplinary awards and prizes, including those from the European Research Council, Apple Inc., the DFG, Walt Disney Animation Studios, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. He is also a regular member of editorial boards such as Computational Visual Media (Springer), Computer Aided Geometric Design (Elsevier) and Computer Graphics Forum (Blackwell). Alexa is also Program Chair of the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, Eurographics, and the Association for Computing Machinery Symposium on Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling.
