Barbara Solenthaler is an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer Science, ETH Zurich. She heads research on simulation and animation within the Computer Graphics Laboratory. She was also affiliated from 2019-2022 with the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, where she held a Hans Fischer Fellowship awarded by Siemens AG. She received her PhD in computer science from the University of Zürich. Her current research focuses on 3D modeling and simulation, aiming to bridge the intersecting domains of Computer Graphics and Medicine. The primary objective is to develop algorithms and methods that integrate leading-edge digital human technologies predominantly utilized in entertainment with medical domain expertise, and to introduce digital humans into clinical applications. She is deeply committed to translating scientific advances to the benefit of society. She 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 2019-2022, and is a co-founder of Apagom AG that provides a real-time fluid engine using machine learning.
