Jarek Rossignac is Professor of Computing at Georgia Tech. His research focuses on the design, representation, simplification, compression, analysis and visualization of complex 3D shapes and animations. Before joining Georgia Tech in 1996 as the Director of the GVU Center, he was the Visualization Strategist and Senior Manager at IBM Research. He holds a Ph.D. in E.E. from the University of Rochester, a Diplôme d'Ingénieur ENSEM, and a Maîtrise in M.E. from the University of Nancy, France. He holds 26 patents and published 154 peer-reviewed articles (including 4 in ACM SIGGRAPH, 6 in the ACM Transactions on Graphics, and 13 in the ACM Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling) for which he received 23 Awards and over 7900 citations, yielding an h-index of 48. He created the ACM Symposia on Solid Modeling, chaired 20 conferences and 6 international program committees (including Eurographics), delivered over 30 Distinguished or Invited Lectures and Keynotes, organized and delivered numerous short courses (including 8 at SIGGRAPH) and served on the editorial boards of 7 professional journals and on 82 Technical Program committees (including SIGGRAPH and several other ACM conferences). He served as the Editor-in-Chief of the GMOD (Graphical Models) journal 2010-13. Currently he is the Director of the NSF Aquatic Propulsion Lab (APL). He is a Senior Member of the ACM and a Fellow of the Eurographics association. 

When Dr. Rosen arrived at Georgia Tech, he helped form the Systems Realization Laboratory, along with Drs. Janet Allen, Bert Bras, and Farrokh Mistree. In August 1995, Dr. Rosen was appointed the Academic Director of the Georgia Tech Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Institute (RPMI), where he has responsibility for developing educational and research programs in rapid prototyping. In 1998, he was appointed the Director of the RPMI. He began at Tech in Fall 1992 as an Assistant Professor.

Spyros Reveliotis is a professor in the Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. Dr. Reveliotis' research interests are primarily in discrete event systems theory and its applications, especially in the control of flexibly automated workflows and the traffic management of multi-agent systems evolving over graphs. He also has an active interest in machine learning theory and its applications. Dr. Reveliotis is an IEEE Fellow, and a member of INFORMS. Dr. Reveliotis completed his Ph.D. studies in industrial engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also holds a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and an M.Sc. degree in Computer Systems Engineering from Northeastern University.

Raghu Pucha obtained his Ph.D. in 1995 from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He held post-doctoral research positions at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and Purdue University, West Lafayette before coming to Georgia Tech in 2000.
