PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT HISTORY Professor of Computer Science, Georgia Tech, 1996 – present Member of the Interactive and Intelligent Computing (IIC) Department of the College of Computing.

Director of the GVU Center, Georgia Tech, 1996 - December 2000 The Graphics, Visualization, and Usability Center (GVU) is Georgia Tech’s spiritual home for interdisciplinary research and education in Human-Centered Computing. Under Rossignac’s direction, GVU’s internal and external visibility and reputation have grown considerably, both as a leading research organization in Computer Graphics and in Human-Computer Interaction, and also as the best academic environment for learning and conducting interdisciplinary research in Human-Centered Computing. This reputation has helped—and has benefited from—the extremely successful recruiting campaign through which Rossignac has brought in about 30 new GVU faculty members, half of which were external hires from the most prestigious institutions. Under his influence, GVU has grown to 49 faculty members, 14 research scientists, and over 160 graduate students from 12 departments. As GVU Director, Rossignac was supervising five Associate Directors, an administrative manager, and an administrative and technical staff of four, providing administrative, financial, and technical support to faculty members and their students, and organizing a variety of events, to promote collaborative research and external visibility.

Senior Manager, IBM Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, 1995-1996 Before leaving IBM, Rossignac was responsible for the Visualization, Interaction, and Graphics Department and managed an organization of over 40 people in research, development, marketing, and sales. He served as the Visualization strategist and was responsible for the development, support, marketing, and sales of IBM’s Data Explorer product for scientific and business


visualizations and for the design, development, commercialization and support of IBM’s 3D Interaction Accelerator product for the interactive inspection and mark-up of highly complex 3D models. He was also responsible for the creation and development of (IBM’s interactive viewing of 360 degrees panoramic images for Internet multimedia applications). He initiated, patented, staffed, and managed IBM's research effort on geometric compression for the Internet access of complex 3D datasets. His initial work on 3D compression was published in the ACM Transactions on Graphics and also in the Proceedings of the IEEE. It has received the Best 1998 Computer Science Paper Award from IBM. It is the basis of the MPEG-4 standard for 3D data transmission. It started a new wave of compression techniques for 3D triangle-meshes that have appeared in numerous conferences and journals. Rossignac received the most prestigious IBM technical award, the Corporate Invention Award, and has reached the Third Invention Plateau.

Second Line Manager, IBM Research, 1993-1995 Rossignac managed the Graphics and Modeling group in the CS Department of IBM Research. He was responsible for the design, development, documentation, product announcement, and support of IBM's 3D Interaction Accelerator (which received The Best Product of the Year Award at the Chicago 1995 Design Show). He received the IBM Research Division Award and the Second Invention Plateau Award. He managed various research activities in: 3D Graphics, Visualization, natural and effective 3D user-interaction Virtual Reality, multimedia markup of 3D models, product data management, and Internet Collaboration.

First Line Manager, IBM Research, 1989-1993 Rossignac has created the Interactive Graphics and Modeling Project. Obtained funding from various sources to grow the project to 11 people and personally recruited several outstanding researchers. He received the First Invention Plateau Award and IBM's Best Paper award in Computer Science. He initiated and managed several research activities in: Computer-Aided Design, 3D graphics, 3D simplification, Animation, and 3D morphing.

Research Staff, IBM Research, 1985-1989 Rossignac conducted research and published in the following areas: Geometric representations and algorithms for multidimensional inhomogeneous models, Algorithms for processing and displaying CSG models, parameterized and procedural 3D models, and constraints in CSG.

PRODUCTS AND SOFTWARE RELEASED IBM 3D Interaction Accelerator (3DIX) Rossignac initiated the project, invented or co-invented and patented the key technologies and algorithms, designed the system architecture and managed all stages of the development and commercialization (between 4 and 10 people over 3 years). This leading edge product provides professionals and novice users with powerful tools for the interactive and collaborative review of highly complex CAD models. 3DIX received the Best Product Award in 1995 at the Chicago Design Trade show and was praised by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games.

IBM Data Explorer (DX) Rossignac became manger of DX in 1995 and managed its developments, marketing, and sales (25 people). DX is a highly flexible general purpose environment for scientific visualization.

IBM PanoramIX An interactive viewer for panoramic images for interactive multimedia presentations and Internet applications. Rossignac created the project and supervised its staffing and initial execution.

Vertex Clustering Simplification The technology invented by Rossignac and Borrel in 1991 has been exploited by IBM in the 3DIX product and has been incorporated into SGI's OpenGL Optimizer in 1997 (www.sgi.com/Technology/openGL/optmizer_wp.html: “Spatial Lattice Simplifier: A simpler (and therefore faster) but potentially more model distorting technique is one based on a method first introduced by Jarek Rossignac”, where it is still in use See also http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=0650&db=bks&fname=/SGI_Developer/Optimizer_PG/ch04.html ),.


3D compression (Topological Surgery) Rossignac conceived the initial technology and started IBM’s effort in 3D compression. He recruited Gabriel Taubin for the project and supervised its initial development stages. The Topological Surgery approach, co-patented by Rossignac and Taubin, has been adopted for the MPEG-4 standard. Rossignac continues to interact with Taubin, who now heads the compression group at IBM, on further extensions of this technology.

Edgebreaker The original version of Edgebreaker, published in 1999, has been recognized as an emerging new standard. For example, in the 2nd Edition of “Data Compression”, the “bible on compression”, David Salomon says on page 682: “Section 8.11 is a detailed description of Edgebreaker, a highly original method for compressing the connectivity information of a triangle mesh. This method and its various extensions may become the standard for compressing polyhedral surfaces, one of the most common surface types used in computer graphics.” Then page 743-754 he provides a 10-page description of the details of Edgebreaker. No other 3D compression approach is mentioned in the book. Dr. Rossignac has been consulting with TechSoft America, a spin-off from AutoDesk, who have implemented Edgebreaker as their 3D compression technology in Hoops3D for CAD applications.

Edgebreaker open source Dr. Rossignac has posted a surprisingly simple and efficient implementation of Edgebreaker‘s compression and decompression: http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/~jarek/edgebreaker/eb/. The site also contains contributions from other researchers who have extended Edgebreaker or have developed their own implementations. (Volker Coors of the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics (IGD), has developed a Java implementation of the Edgebreaker algorithm: http://www.igd.fhg.de/~coors/JEdgebreaker/jedgebreaker.html. Dinesh Shikhare of the National Center for Software Technology in India has developed pre- and post-processors for the insertion of dummy vertices and triangles to fill holes in the given mesh before the Edgebreaker compression is invoked and to cleanup dummy geometry after EB decompression is done: http://www.ncst.ernet.in./~dinesh/research/compression/eb.) This approach has been publicly praised as being considerably simpler and more elegant than his MPEG-4 solution.
