Professor W. Wang

Professor Wang's research covers computer graphics, visualization, and geometric computing. He has recently focused on mesh generation and surface modeling for architectural design. He is journal associate editor of Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), Computers and Graphics (CAG), and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), program co-chair of several international conferences, including Pacific Graphics 2003, ACM Symposium on Physical and Solid Modeling (SPM 2006), International Conference on Shape Modeling (SMI 2009), and conference chair of Pacific Graphics 2012, SIAM Conference on Geometric and Physical Modeling 2013 (GD/SPM'13), and SIGGRAPH Asia 2013.
