Background
Vibeke Skytt is Master of Science from the University of Oslo. She graduated in 1986 with a master thesis on splines in tension.
She started to work in SI (later SINTEF) in 1986 and has worked there as a research scientist and senior researh scientist since then. The field is splines and geometry and a number of themes in this area: CAD kernel algorithms and software, reverse engineering, CAD quality anr repair, isogeometric modelling etc.
Research Interests
Vibeke Skytt had during her years in SINTEF worked in a number of projects and with a number of research topics. The main topics of interest are the following:
Intersections and self intersections
Good and stable intersection algorithms is crucial for Boolean operations in CAD system. Vibeke has particular interest in the topolgogy of surface-surface intersections. The configuration of intersection curves can be very complex especially in tangential cases. A singular surface-surface intersection is shown below.
A self intersecting surface may have a very complex topology. Little work has been focused on computing self intersection results of general surfaces, but Vibeke has done interesting work in this area. Below is a detail of a pipe surface along with the self intersection results.
Geometric modelling
Geometric modelling is concerned with constructing one or more surfaces to create a CAD type model. Vibeke has been deeply involved in the development of SINTEF Applied Mathematics software libraries for geometry.
