Associate Professor
Biography
In 2005, Professor Ju joined the faculty at Washington University in St. Louis. He served on the program committees of top conferences in computer graphics including ACM Siggraph Asia and Eurographics, and co-chaired Pacific Graphics in 2007. He was the invited speaker at IEEE International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications in 2008. Professor Ju has received a number of grant awards from NSF and NIH.
Research
Professor Ju's research interests lie in the field of computer graphics and applications in bio-medical research. He is particularly interested in geometric modeling, mesh processing, visualization, and bio-medical modeling.
