Short Bio
Janine Bennett is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff in the Visualization and Scientific Computing Department at Sandia National Laboratory. Working closely with scientists in the Combustion Research Facility, she is currently building statistical and topological tools to identify, characterize and track features in petascale data. Her research interests include computational geometry, combinatorial topology, mesh parameterization, material boundaries, feature segmentation, vector field analysis, and uncertainty quantification.
Prior to joining Sandia, Janine was a Lawrence Scholar at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where she focused on cross-parameterization of meshes with arbitrary genus. Janine graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Davis in 2008 under the joint guidance of Valerio Pascucci and Ken Joy. She received her Masters from the University of California, Davis in 2004 and her B.S. in Engineering, Computer Science with minors in Math and Spanish from the University Of California, Davis in 2000.
