Congratulations to George Drettakis, Inria research director at the Sophia Antipolis – Méditerranée centre and head of the Graphdeco project-team, specialist in Computer Graphics, who received the European Research Council (ERC) grant in the Advanced category for the FUNGRAPH proposal “A New Foundation for Computer Graphics with Inherent Uncertainty”.
ERC Advanced Grants are awarded under the “Excellent Science” pillar of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 for research and innovation programme and are attributed to senior researchers who are recognised as leaders in their field and who propose a research project that significantly pushes back the current frontiers of science.
The research developed in the ERC Advanced Grant “FUNGRAPH” is related to the work Inria is doing in EMOTIVE, namely concerning the Image-Based Rendering (IBR) research applied to emotion-based cultural heritage. The fundamental research in FUNGRAPH will develop principled theoretical foundations for the wider class of algorithms treating uncertainty in computer graphics: IBR is one category of algorithms that will benefit from these fundamental research advances.
