Nico Pietroni is an Associate professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Technology Sydney. His research focus is on the fields of computer graphics and geometry processing. He investigates concepts and practical algorithms for the creation and manipulation of digital shape representation. Nico is interested in how geometry processing intersects with architecture, artistic modeling, and digital fabrication. His primary goal is to push the boundaries of current industrial production pipelines by exploiting the theoretical foundations in geometry processing. His research includes mesh parametrization, surface abstraction, and global optimization applied to the entertainment industry, digital fabrication, and architectural geometry.
