I am Oded Stein, a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Lab in the Geometric Data Processing Group with Prof. Justin Solomon. You can contact me at ostein@mit.edu.
In January 2023 I will be a professor at USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering! If you want to work with me as an undergraduate intern, a graduate student, or a postdoc, please visit this page for more information.
My interests include geometry processing, numerical mathematics and optimization, simulation, differential geometry and algebraic topology. If it has anything to do with geometry, I am interested!
You can find my list of publications here.
Interesting links:
- My GitHub profile
- A simple geometry processing library in Python using numpy/scipy by Silvia Sellán and me. Use it for your python geometry processing projects!
- A guide on how to write your first ACM SIGGRAPH / TOG paper created by others and me of SIGGRAPH RCDC.
- A collection of meshes with minimal licensing requirements that I have curated. Use them in your research project!
- A quick introduction to geometry processing with MATLAB. A simple tutorial for general audiences.
Academia in computer science and mathematics can be complicated to navigate for newcomers. If you have any questions about how to plan your academic career, how to apply for grad school, how to get research internships, or anything of the like, feel free to email me if you think my advice might be useful.
Short biography:
Oded Stein received a BSc in Mathematics in 2013 and a MSc in Mathematics in 2015 from ETH Zurich under the supervision of Ralf Hiptmair of the Seminar for Applied Mathematics. He was awarded the ETH Excellence Scholarship for his Master’s studies and earned a distinction for his MSc degree. He interned at Pixar research in 2017. In 2020, he recieved his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Columbia University under the supervision of Eitan Grinspun for his research of smoothness energies in geometry processing. Since 2022 he is a postdoctoral fellow at MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Lab with the gracious support of the Swiss National Science Foundation’s Early Postdoc.Mobility fellowship. Oded Stein will be an Assistant Professor at USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering in January 2023.
