Victoria Interrante
Victoria Lynn Interrante is an American computer scientist specializing in computer graphics, scientific computing, and virtual environments. She is a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Minnesota, a founder of the annual ACM Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization, and co-editor-in-chief of the journal ACM Transactions on Applied Perception.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Interrante is a 1984 graduate of the University of Massachusetts Boston. After earning a master's degree in 1986 at the University of California, Los Angeles, working with Jacques Vidal on computer graphics modeling of breaking waves,[2] she completed a Ph.D. in 1996 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her doctoral dissertation, Illustrating Transparency: Communicating the 3D Shape of Layered Transparent Surfaces via Texture, was co-advised by Henry Fuchs and Stephen Pizer.[1][2][3]
After postdoctoral research at NASA's Langley Research Center, on the visualization of fluid dynamics, she joined the University of Minnesota faculty in 1998.[1]
She was the founding co-chair of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization, in 2004. She became co-editor-in-chief of the journal ACM Transactions on Applied Perception in 2015.[1]
Recognition
[edit]Interrante was a 1999 recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. In 2020, the Visualization & Graphics Technical Committee of the IEEE Computer Society gave Interrante their Virtual Reality Career Award.[1]
