Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation from Scanned Images

Yongjie Jessica Zhang is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. She is the co-author of more than 130 publications in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. She has been a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, NSF CAREER Award, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, USACM Gallagher Young Investigator Award, Clarence H. Adamson Career Faculty Fellow in Mechanical Engineering, George Tallman Ladd Research Award, and Donald L. and Rhonda Struminger Faculty Fellow. Her research interests include computational geometry, mesh generation, computer graphics, visualization, finite element method, isogeometric analysis, and their application in computational biomedicine and engineering. She earned a PhD in computational engineering and sciences from the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at the University of Texas at Austin.
