Sascha Stüttgen
I am a PHD student at RWTH Aachen University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Daniel Robertz. My main research interests lie in geometric aspects of simplicial surfaces. In particular I study how to embed a combinatorial simplicial surface into 3-space under edge lenghts constraints and investigate different rigidity properties.
Session
Polygonal complexes are combinatoric objects that arise from polyhedra and facilitate various combinatoric and geometric studies. In this talk, we present the Julia package GeoCombSurfX which enables the study of polygonal complexes and the construction of their corresponding embedding. Moreover, we demonstrate the usage of our package by targeting the problem of deciding whether a given asssembly of 3D-blocks gives rise to a topological interlocking.
