Dr. J.S.M. Vergeest (Joris)

Associate Professor
Design Engineering

Biography

Joris S.M. Vergeest received his M.S. Degree in Physics and Computer Science in 1974 from the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. From the same institute he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Experimental High Energy Physics in 1979. He has worked one year as a research fellow at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. In 1984 he joined the Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, and is involved in lecturing and research. As an associate professor his primary research topics include image processing, computer graphics, 3D geometric modeling, automatic shape design based on constraints and optimization, robust processing of imprecise geometric models, efficient numerically controlled machining, automatic robot path generation from CAD data, configuration space analysis, product data representation and conversions, product model standardization, CAD model sharing among dissimilar systems, 3D object scanning, engineering process observation and optimization, reverse engineering, free-form shape pattern recognition, shape reuse methods.
