The University of New Mexico Advanced Graphics Lab – a collaboration of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Department of Computer Science – hosts “GFX Café,” a lunch seminar held every Friday this semester from noon-1 p.m. to discuss research and current topics in the field of computer graphics. These seminars are being held in the ECE building.
This week, UNM Computer Science Professor Joe Kniss will continue a discussion started the previous week of computer graphics research reported at the SIGGRAPH conference in San Diego over the summer.
In addition to UNM students, staff and faculty, scientists and computer animation experts from Sandia National Labs and private companies also attend the weekly meetings held by Advanced Graphics Lab professors.
UNM’s new Advanced Graphics Lab is the brainchild of ECE Professor Pradeep Sen – formerly of Stanford University’s Graphics Lab. Together with ECE Professor Tom Caudell and UNM Computer Science Professor Joe Kniss, Professor Sen has created a combination of courses, research projects and funding avenues to benefit UNM students interested in working with computer graphics.
