报告嘉宾：Daniele Panozzo，New York University

报告题目：Black-Box Finite Element Analysis

报告摘要：

The numerical solution of partial differential equations  (PDE) is ubiquitous in computer graphics and engineering applications, ranging from the computation of UV maps and skinning weights, to the simulation of elastic deformations, fluids, and light scattering. Ideally, a PDE solver should be a “black box”: the user provides as input the domain boundary, boundary conditions, and the governing equations, and the code returns an evaluator that can compute the value of the solution at any point of the input domain. This is surprisingly far from being the case for all existing open-source or commercial software, despite the research efforts in this direction and the large academic and industrial interest. To a large extent, this is due to treating meshing and FEM basis construction as two disjoint problems.
I will present an integrated pipeline, considering meshing and element design as a single challenge, that makes the tradeoff between mesh quality and element complexity/cost local, instead of making an a priori decision for the whole pipeline. I will demonstrate that tackling the two problems jointly offers many advantages, and that a fully black-box meshing and analysis solution is already possible for heat transfer and elasticity problems.

讲者简介：

Daniele Panozzo is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in New York University. Prior to joining NYU he was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich (2012-2015). Daniele earned his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Genova (2012) and his doctoral thesis received the EUROGRAPHICS Award for Best PhD Thesis (2013).  He received the EUROGRAPHICS Young Researcher Award in 2015 and the NSF CAREER Award in 2017. Daniele’s research group is leading the development of libigl (https://github.com/libigl/libigl), an award-winning (EUROGRAPHICS Symposium of Geometry Processing Software Award, 2015) open-source geometry processing library, polyfem (https://polyfem.github.io), a simple C++ and Python finite element library, and wild meshing (https://github.com/wildmeshing), a 2D and 3D robust meshing library. Daniele is chairing the Graphics Replicability Stamp (http://www.replicabilitystamp.org), which is an initiative to promote reproducibility of research results and to allow scientists and practitioners to immediately benefit from state-of-the-art research results. His  research interests are in digital fabrication, geometry processing, architectural geometry, and discrete differential geometry.
