| Profile |
|
Yi-Jen Chiang received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brown University in 1995. He holds a Sc.M. in Computer Science from Brown University, and a B.S. in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University. He was a postdoc at SUNY Stony Brook, before joining the Polytechnic University in Fall 1998. He has worked in the areas of computer graphics and scientific visualization, geometric and graph algorithms, I/O-efficient techniques, and data structures, and published journal papers in these areas. He has recently developed and implemented one of the first I/O techniques for visualizing large volumetric dataset in scientific visualization, and the first conflict prediction code based on geometric hashing to support free flight in Air Traffic Control which has been used by the Seagull Technology for their NASA project. Prof. Chiang enjoys teaching computer graphics and special topics in computational geometry and I/O techniques. He is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer Society, and SIAM.
