David Coeurjolly

David Coeurjolly is a Research Director at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) affiliated with LIRIS laboratory at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1. He leads the Origami research team and holds several leadership positions including Director of GdR Informatique Géométrique et Graphique and Co-lead of PEPR ICCARE. As co-founder of the DGtal library and General Chair of the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative, he significantly influences computational geometry research.

His research spans digital geometry, discrete algorithms, Monte Carlo rendering, and geometry processing. Core innovations include work on optimal transport, low-discrepancy sampling, digital surface regularization, and curvature estimation methods. His approaches combine theoretical mathematics with practical implementations for computer graphics and scientific computing applications.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on:

• Efficient transport algorithms (BSP-OT, Rectified Flows)
• Sampling theory innovations (Sobol' sequences, Owen scrambling)
• Digital geometry foundations (Gauss digitization, Laplace-Beltrami operators)
• Geometric transformations (bijective rotations, plane probing)

Awards include:

• 🎫 Best Paper Award, SIGGRAPH Asia 2024
• 🎫 SGP Software Award 2016

He leads multiple ANR grants including SSLAM (point cloud ML), StableProxies (geometry processing), and MoCaMed (medical physics). His lab develops open-source tools like DGtal and maintains active collaborations through international initiatives like the Graphics Replicability Stamp.
