Marcel Padilla

Marcel Padilla is Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Computer Science, researching geometric algorithms for physical simulation and visualization. As Feodor-Lynen Fellow, he develops computational methods for fluid dynamics and astrophysical phenomena.

Research integrates discrete exterior calculus with computer graphics to model complex systems like solar coronae and vortex dynamics. Recent publications present novel frameworks for rigid body motion estimation and magnetic filament simulation. Teaches geometry processing and mathematical visualization.
