    Alla Sheffer is a professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada, where she investigates algorithms for geometry processing in the context of computer graphics applications. She is best known for her research on mesh parameterization, hexahedral meshing, computational garment design, and perception driven shape modeling. Dr. Sheffer is a Fellow of ACM, IEEE, and the Royal Society of Canada. She is a member of SIGGRAPH Academy and a recipient of the Canadian Human Computer Communications Society Achievement Award’18. She served as an Associate Editor of ACM TOG, IEEE TVCG, and CGF. She is the Technical Papers Chair for SIGGRAPH’23.

    SIGGRAPH Asia 2008

    Alla Sheffer is an associate professor in the Computer Science department at The University of British Columbia. She investigates algorithmic aspects of digital geometry processing, focusing on several fundamental problems of mesh manipulation and editing. Her recent research addresses algorithms for mesh parameterization, processing of developable surfaces, mesh editing, reconstruction, and shape analysis. Her work on these topics had been published at top venues, including SIGGRAPH, EuroGraphics, and the Symposium on Geometry Processing. She co-authored several parameterization methods, including ABF/ABF++, which are used in popular 3D modelers including Blender, Maya, and Catia. She received her PhD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1999. Prior to moving to UBC in 2003, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an assistant professor at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
