    Gabriel Taubin is an associate professor of engineering and computer science at Brown University. He earned a Licenciado en Ciencias Matemáticas from Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1981 and a PhD in electrical engineering from Brown in 1991. He was named an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to three-dimensional geometry compression technology and multimedia standards. He received the Eurographics 2002 Günter Enderle Best Paper Award. And he was named an IBM Master Inventor. He has authored 58 reviewed book chapters, journal papers, and conference papers, and is a co-inventor on 43 international patents. Before joining Brown in 2003, he was a research staff member and manager at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center for 13 years. During the 2000-2001 academic year, he was a visiting professor of electrical engineering at Calfornia Institute of Technology. His main line of research has been related to the development of efficient, simple, and mathematically sound algorithms to operate on 3D objects represented as polygonal meshes, with an emphasis on technologies to enable the use of 3D models for web-based applications.

    SIGGRAPH 1999

    Gabriel Taubin leads a group of researchers at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in the creation of new geometric computation and Image-based graphics algorithms and technologies for 3D modeling, 3D scanning, network-based graphics, and data visualization. Towards the end of 1995 he co-invented IBM?s Topological Surgery geometry compression scheme. Later on he led the effort to develop a binary format for VRML, and to extend the technology in several ways. During 1998 he led the effort to incorporate IBM’s geometry compression technology into MPEG-4 version 2, which is now at the CD level. Earlier on, he spent five years as a member of the Computer Vision group. Gabriel holds a Ph.D. in EE from Brown University in the area of Computer Vision, and a M.Sc. in Pure Mathematics from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He authored 12 patents, and published over 30 papers.??
