Schweitzer Klassifikation
Joe Warren, Professor of Computer Science at Rice University since 1986, is one of the world's leading experts on subdivision. Of his nearly 50 computer science papers-published in prestigious forums such as SIGGRAPH, Transactions on Graphics, Computer-Aided Geometric Design, and The Visual Computer-a dozen specifically address subdivision and its applications to computer graphics. Prof. Warren received both his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science at Cornell University. His research interests focus on mathematical methods for representing geometric shape. Henrik Weimer is a research scientist at the DaimlerChrysler Corporate Research Center in Berlin, where he works on knowledge-based support for the design and creation of engineering products. Dr. Weimer obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rice University.
