Research

GAMMA’s research includes design and implementation of algebraic, geometric, and scientific algorithms and their applications to computer graphics, robotics, virtual environments, CAD/CAM, acoustics, pedestrian dynamics, and medical simulation. Our research also exploits the latest capabilities of commodity processors, including multi-core CPUs, many-core GPUs, and mobile processor. In addition to publishing papers at the leading venues, we have a long history of developing software packages and transitioning our technology into industrial products. Current and previous areas of research are below.
