Short Bio

Janine Bennett is currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. She is a member of the Visualization and Graphics Research Group in the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) and is a Lawrence Scholar at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. Currently, her research is being performed under the joint guidance of Valerio Pascucci and Ken Joy.

Janine graduated from University Of California, Davis in 2000 with a degree in Engineering, Computer Science and minors in Math and Spanish. She received her Masters from the University of California, Davis in 2004.

Janine is currently investigating robust methods to cross parameterize meshes of arbitrary unequal genus. Her other research interests include scientific visualization, computer graphics, mesh parameterization, computational geometry, combinatorial topology, material boundaries, feature segmentation, and vector field analysis.
