Have you dug deep into an evolving area of visual computing? Consider submitting to the 2027 EG STARs track! STARs are survey reports providing insight into the current state of the art and future directions. They're impactful and highly-cited! eg2027.isti.cnr.it/call-for-sta...

SGI is an amazing example of how one can bring excellent new graduate students from a variety of backgrounds into a research field. It's one of the few examples that I've seen work in practice. It's going to disappear in 2026 if new funding is not secured. If you can help, contact Justin!

Our Summer Geometry Initiative is more popular than ever, with a record # of applicants. But thanks to "2025 problems," SGI needs sponsors for it to survive past 2025. Please contact me if you're interested or have ideas!

At #SIGGRAPH2026, I presented "points as tori" (PAT) for fast pointwise evaluation of signed distance for point clouds. Some code (Python w/ C++ extensions) and demo up: github.com/nzfeng/point... Contributions from people/LLMs welcome. Explainer thread below for the project: 🧵

Tomorrow at #SIGGRAPH2026 (Monday) @ 3:45-5:35pm, come to the papers session "Creating & Iso-Surfacing SDFs" in Room 408B. A paper I'm looking forward to is "Subgrid Marching Tetrahedra" by Hossein Baktash (yes, I'm biased as his labmate, but it's a great idea) [1/n]

I recently completed my PhD thesis, where I developed algorithms for making geometric inferences from imperfect data (i.e. incomplete and inaccurate observations/representations of shapes, like broken meshes or point clouds). A thread 🧵:

Releasing Walk on Spheres Extensions (WoSX): a GPU-accelerated C++/Python library for Monte Carlo physics simulation on complex geometry. Think path tracing but for physics beyond light transport: heat, electrostatics, potential flow, deformation & more! github.com/nv-tlabs/wosx

PhD goals: someone makes a cake from your figure

Last but not least in this year's series of updates from Rising Stars, we hear from Nicole Feng @nicole--f.bsky.social - just graduated from @cmu.edu ! >> check out Nicole's latest research nzfeng.github.io/research/Poi... >> and follow for 🔔 on the Berthouzoz Lunch @ @acmsiggraph.bsky.social

the rising stars program is about forging meaningful connections and a sense of community among young women researchers!!! I met Sarah thanks to the program in 2023, those connections and seeing how everyone grows in their own path has been deeply inspiring to me apply now >>

Call for Rising Stars Applications

The Rising Stars in Computer Graphics program is designed to bring new perspectives to computer graphics research. This is a two-year program that will be co-located with SIGGRAPH 2026 and SIGGRAPH 20...

We're kicking this series off with updates from Sarah Kushner -- 2023 cohort of WiGRAPH Rising Stars. Sarah is now a postdoc at the @geometric-intel.bsky.social at UCSB, doing important work to further our understanding of women's brains during pregnancy.

I've participated in this program for the past two years, and recommend it to any graphics or graphics-related researcher.

Announcing SGI 2026! Undergrads and MS students: Apply for 6 weeks of paid summer geometry processing research. No experience needed: 1 week tutorials + 5 weeks of projects. Mentors are top researchers in this emerging branch of graphics/computing/math. sgi.mit.edu

The #SIGGRAPH Thesis Fast Forward 2026 is here! Learn about the future of CG in 9 PhD theses: from Monte Carlo PDE solvers and photorealistic 3D avatars to fantasy-based rehab games and modular umbrella meshes. 🎓✨ youtu.be/FlrTZEJeEXs
