Bio: Dr. Nobuyuki Umetani now is a research scientist at Autodesk Research. Before that, he worked for Autodesk Research in Toronto and Disney Research Zurich as a postdoc for one year each. He received his master and Ph.D. in The University of Tokyo, Japan, in 2009 and 2012 respectively. When he was a student, he visited TU Delft, Columbia University and University College London. In addition, he won an internship at Microsoft Research Asia in February 2012. His research interests include computer graphics, interactive design interface and mechanical engineering.
Abstract: Physical simulation allows validation of geometric designs without tedious physical prototyping. However, since geometric modeling and physical simulation are typically separated, simulations are mainly used for rejecting bad design, and not for assisting creative exploration towards better designs. In this talk, I introduce several interactive approaches to integrate physical simulation into geometric modeling to actively support creative design process. Importance of interactivity in the design system will be discussed in various practical contexts including structurally robust design, musical instrument design, garment design, and aerodynamics design.
