Hello everyone,
We put together a wonderful opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to spend a part of their summer at (or remotely at) MIT, focusing on geometry processing related research ideas, while collaborating with the experts in the field. Please see the information and resources below and share with interested participants.
Thanks,
Ilke
SGI 2021The Summer Geometry Institute (SGI) is a six-week paid summer research program introducing undergraduate and graduate students to the field of geometry processing. Geometry processing has a long history of breakthrough developments that have guided the design of 3D tools for computer vision, additive manufacturing,
scientific computing, and other disciplines. Algorithms for geometry processing combine ideas from disciplines including differential geometry, topology, physical simulation, statistics, and optimization.In the first week of SGI, participants will attend hands-on tutorials introducing the theory and practice of geometry
processing; no background or previous experience is necessary. During
the remaining weeks, participants will work in teams on research
projects led by faculty and research scientists in this discipline,
while attending talks and other sessions led by visiting researchers.SGI
will be held remotely in 2021, but participants are expected to be engaged full-time. Contingent on current events and university policy,
we may be able to offer optional in-person participation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA.No prior research experience or coursework in geometry
processing is necessary to participate in SGI; students who have
excelled in the math, science, and/or computing programs available to
them are strongly encouraged to apply. --
