Demetri Terzopoulos is a Canadian-American computer scientist.

Life

Terzopoulos studied electrical engineering at McGill University with a bachelor's degree in 1978 and a master's degree in 1980 and received his doctorate in 1984 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Shimon Ullman and J. Michael Brady . The dissertation Multiresolution computation of visible-surface representations was about the computation of visual representations of surfaces. As a post-doctoral student , he was at CSAIL at MIT and at Schlumberger Research in Palo Alto and Austin before becoming Associate Professor in 1989 and Professor at the University of Toronto in 1995 . From 2000 he was Professor at the Courant Institute at New York University (Lucy and Henry Moses Professor) and from 2005 Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles . From 2012 he was Distinguished Professor and he is Chancellor's Professor of Computer Science. There he is director of the Computer Graphics & Vision Laboratory.

He was visiting professor at the University of Paris-Dauphine, the Institute for Infocomm Research in Singapore, the Almaden Research Center of IBM in San Jose, Intel in Santa Clara, the Digital Equipment Research Laboratory in Cambridge / Massachusetts and the NEC Research Institute in Princeton .

plant

He deals with computer graphics , computer vision, CAD , medical imaging, artificial life and artificial intelligence . He is one of the developers of the active contours algorithm and a pioneer in the development of further deformable models in computer vision and computer graphics. His work has applications in animation for films and face recognition, among other things. In the field Artificial Life (Artificial Life) he combined biomechanics, perception, motor control, behavior, cognition and learning for realistic computer simulations of humans and animals, such as simulations of artificial fish.

Honors and memberships

In 2006 he received an Oscar in the technology category for his achievements in computer animation.

In 2009 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the IEEE , the Royal Society (2014) and the Royal Society of Canada . In 2020 he received the Computer Pioneer Award and he received the first Computer Vision Distinguished Researcher Award from the IEEE. He is one of the highly cited scientists (ISI).
