Frank C Langbein

Frank C. Langbein received a diploma in mathematics from Stuttgart University in 1998 and a PhD from Cardiff University in 2003, where he is now a lecturer in computer science. His research interests lie in the areas of geometric, solid and physical modelling and related topics in computer graphics and vision. He has been working on reverse engineering geometric models with a focus on beautification and design intent detection, approximate symmetries and pattern recognition, geometric constraints, mesh processing, curves and surfaces, and point-based modelling. He is interested in applying this in engineering and science, especially in mechanical engineering, quantum engineering, and life sciences. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society, the IEEE and the Geometric Modelling Society. His teaching responsibilities include final year BSc graphics and artificial intelligence modules and he was also involved in some public engagement in science events. He also has extensive experience in software development. For more details see http://www.langbein.org/.
