Biography

Wouter Meulemans is an assistant professor in the Applied Geometric Algorithms group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research interests are in the areas of algorithms, computational geometry, and information visualization, with a particular focus on (geo)spatial applications. A common theme of his research is the concept of spatially informative visualization, where spatial accuracy is prioritized to achieve effective visualization. He has developed methods supported by geometric algorithms that ensure provable guarantees regarding the quality and efficiency of solutions. His specific areas of expertise include cartographic schematization and similarity measures for set visualization. Automated schematization computations create effective stylistic visual representations using geometric primitives to adequately depict complex objects. Furthermore, similarity measures play a key role in quantifying adequate descriptions of geometric objects and their relationships. Set visualization techniques additionally support the analysis of relationships between sets. Wouter emphasizes the ubiquitous potential applications of geometric algorithms in various fields.
