Alberto Paoluzzi

Alberto Paoluzzi is professor of Computer Science with the Department of Mathematics and Physics of Roma Tre University. Currently teaches Parallel and Distributed Computing, and Computational Algebraic Topology, and leads the CVD (Computational Visual Design) Lab, previously CAD-PLM Lab. He was associate professor of Computer Science with La Sapienza University of Rome from 1983 to 1993, and professor of Computer Aided Design with the Department of Informatics and Automation of Roma Tre from 2000 to 2012. He was working on graphics, geometric and solid modeling in Italy since the last seventies, and leaded the design and development of several geometrical systems, including the first solid modeler on a personal computer in 1985, and the geometric language PlaSM in more recent years.
He is a member of SIAM, ACM, the IEEE Computer Society. He was editor of Computer-aided Design journal and Computer-Aided Design and Applications. Authored 3 books, and more than 120 peer-reviewed papers on international journals and conferences. In 2017 was awarded from SMA (Solid Modeling Association) the honorific title of Pioneer of Solid Modeling.

Computational topology and Boolean operations with Julia sparse arrays
Alberto Paoluzzi

This talk introduces computational topology algorithms to generate the 2D/3D space partition induced by a collection of 1D/2D/3D geometric objects. Methods and language are those of basic geometric and algebraic topology. Only sparse arrays are used to compute spaces and maps (the chain complex) from dimension zero to three.
