Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2022
David Kasik became a disruptor by bringing new CG ideas to the aircraft industry. He is also a major SIGGRAPH supporter and has innovated new programs, given service to the pioneers and driven the support for high schoolers to become exposed to the wonders of SIGGRAPH.
SIGGRAPH 2008
Dave Kasik is the Boeing Enterprise Visualization Architect. His research interests include innovative combinations of basic 3D graphics and user interface technologies and increasing awareness of the impact of visualization technology inside and outside Boeing. Dave has a BA in Quantitative Studies from the Johns Hopkins University and an MS in Computer Science from the University of Colorado. He is a member of IEEE, ACM, ACM SIGGRAPH (he has attended all SIGGRAPH conferences), and ACM SIGCHI. He is a member of the editorial board for IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications.
SIGGRAPH 1984
David J. Kasik is group leader for workstation design and development for computer-aided design/manufacturing/ engineering applications at Boeing Computer Services. The goal of the overall project is to provide an integrated environment for both workstation and data in the development of engineering applications. He has authored numerous papers in the area of user interface management systems and graphics. He was exhibits chair for SIGGRAPH ’80 in Seattle. Kasik received a M.S. in computer science from the University of Colorado and a B.A. from the John Hopkins University.
