BIO

Sebti Foufou obtained a PhD in computer science in 1997 from the University of Claude Bernard Lyon I, France, for a dissertation on parametric surfaces intersections. Since then, he is working as associate professor in the computer science department at the University of Burgundy , France . His research interests concern geometric modeling and CAD-CAM topics and include: surfaces blending using Dupin cyclides, subdivision surfaces, geometric constraints solving. Currently, he is working, as a guest researcher, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg , MD , USA , where he is contributing in product engineering related researches: product modeling, smart machining systems, tolerances, assembly modeling and PLM.
