معرفی
Aldo Gonzalez-Lorenzo is an Associate Professor (maître de conférences) at Aix-Marseille University in Arles, France, where he conducts research at the GMOD team of the Laboratoire d'Informatique et des Systèmes (LIS). His academic work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in computational topology and discrete geometry.
His primary research interests focus on computational topology and discrete geometry, with particular emphasis on homology computation, digital topology, and geometric modeling. Gonzalez-Lorenzo develops algorithms for analyzing topological features in digital objects, with applications ranging from 3D mesh processing to motion planning for robotics. His work combines theoretical foundations with practical implementations, often resulting in efficient computational methods for complex topological problems.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend toward practical applications of topological methods. His work spans from theoretical contributions in Alexander duality and discrete Morse theory to applied research in motion planning, CO2 storage analysis, and 3D mesh processing. A notable pattern is his development of efficient computational methods for measuring and analyzing topological holes across various domains, demonstrating the versatility of topological approaches in solving diverse computational problems.
