معرفی
Zbyněk ŠÍR is an Associate Professor at the Mathematical Institute within the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague. He specializes in Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), Differential Geometry, and the History of Geometry, with a focus on Pythagorean Hodograph curves and their applications in geometric modeling.
- Education:
- 1989: Graduated from Gymnázium J. K. Tyla, Hradec Králové
- 1993: DEA (Diplôme d'Études Approfondies) in Algebra and Geometry, University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI)
- 1995: Master's in Mathematics (Riemannian Geometry, Representation Theory), Charles University
- 2002: PhD in Mathematics (History of French Geometry), Charles University & Université Pierre et Marie Curie
- 2012: Habilitation in Mathematics (Geometry and Topology), Charles University
His research spans theoretical and applied geometry, including Pythagorean Hodograph curves, rational curves, and historical mathematical texts. Recent work focuses on rotation-minimizing motions, framing motions, and complex quaternions for minimal surfaces. Collaborations with researchers like Carlotta Giannelli, Lucia Sacco, and Bert Jüttler highlight interdisciplinary applications in robotics, aerospace, and computational geometry.
ŠÍR teaches courses in Geometric Modeling and Mathematical Education, emphasizing the use of tools like Mathematica for visualizing curves, surfaces, and geometric transformations. His teaching integrates theoretical concepts (e.g., Frenet frames, projective geometry) with practical applications (e.g., CNC manufacturing, 3D reconstruction).
