Sheldon Andrews

Sheldon Andrews is a Professor of Software & IT Engineering at the École de technologie supérieure in Montreal, Canada. His research focuses on real-time physics simulation, character animation, and interactive systems. He specializes in integrating computational methods with visual and haptic feedback, particularly in dynamic environments.

Research interests include developing algorithms for realistic simulations, such as friction modeling, texture synthesis, and inverse kinematics. His work bridges computer graphics, robotics, and software engineering, with applications in interactive hand simulation and motion gaming.

Notable contributions include papers on fingertip appearance modeling (MIG 2013), Hessian matrix-based kinematics (MIG 2017), and friction-visual coupling (SCA 2021). His open-source projects, such as hessianIK and slrbs, provide tools for academic and industrial use.

He maintains an active GitHub repository for research code and collaborates on projects like real-time physics engines and data-driven animation techniques. No academic awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts.
