Barbara Solenthaler is a senior research scientist at the Computer Science department at ETH Zurich, where she leads the research on simulation and animation at the Computer Graphics Laboratory. Prior to joining ETH, she received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Zurich. In her research she develops algorithms and techniques for data-driven physics simulations, where a particular challenge is to synergistically combine machine learning with 3D modeling and the laws of dynamics. Her research includes the simulation of digital humans, image based modeling, and artist-controllable fluid simulations, aiming at transforming and simplifying workflows in visual effects and medical fields. Barbara is currently also affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich, where she holds a Hans Fischer Fellowship awarded by the Siemens AG on digital twin technologies. Barbara serves on various technical program and organization committees of major graphics conferences (e.g., SIGGRAPH and EG IPC, MIG 2023 and SCA 2016 conference co-chair, SCA 2022 awards co-chair), was appointed as an Associate Editor of Computer Graphics Forum from 2019-22, and is a co-founder of Apagom AG that provides a real-time fluid engine using machine learning.
Our work on animating digital humans received the SIGGRAPH 2022 Honorable Mentions Award.
Digital humans for orthodontics and digital dentistry: our project with Align Technology will be presented at the ETH Industry Days 2022.
Our research on 3D modeling and treatment planning for cleft lip and palate was presented at Science City 2021.
Our volume stylization with neural networks is used in Hollywood.
The Eurographics 2021 Günther Enderle Best Paper Award was awarded to our work on art-directable fluids.
Our current research focuses on deep learning based physics simulations, art-directable simulations, physics-based digital humans, digital humans for medical applications, and character animation.
I teach the course units Parallel Programming, Seminar on Digital Humans, and Doctoral Seminar in Visual Computing. Past courses include Physically-based Simulation in Computer Graphics and Engineering Tool: Case Study Physics Simulations.
