We’ll talk about people who were key parts of many of these developments, and we’ll discuss the factors that drove them into these developments. *Biography* John Keyser is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. He joined Texas A&M in 2000, after receiving his PhD in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina, and earlier earned Bachelor’s Degrees in Applied Math, Engineering Physics, and Computer Science from Abilene Christian University. His research has spanned a wide range of graphics, with the majority of his work in the areas of geometric modeling, especially in robust solid modeling applications, and physically-based simulation. He has also worked on topics in rendering, data visualization, and a large interdisciplinary project on scanning and reconstructing small animal brains at sub-micrometer resolution. *Faculty Contact: * Ricardo Gutierrez rgutier@cse.tamu.edu *Department of Computer Science and Engineering* |Texas A&M University 3112 TAMU | College Station, Texas 77843-3112 Ph: 979-458-3870 | fax: 979-845-1420 | news@cse.tamu.edu www.cse.tamu.edu
