Biography

Teseo Schneider is an assistant professor in computer science at the University of Victoria. Teseo earned his PhD in Computer Science from the Universita della Svizzera italiana (2017) with the thesis entitled “Theory and Applications of Bijective Barycentric Mappings.” He earned a PostdocMobility fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) to pursue his research at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Science at the New York University, aiming to bridge physical simulations and geometry. His research interests are finite element simulations, mathematics, discrete differential geometry and geometry processing. Teseo is the leading developer of Polyfem, a flexible and easy-to-use Finite Element Library. He is also one of the maintainers of libigl and a contributor to wild meshing, a 2D and 3D robust meshing library. In 2022, Teseo was awarded the Young Investigator Award by Shape Modelling International and the Cowie Faculty Innovation Award by the University of Victoria.
