Demetri Terzopoulos is Professor of Computer Science and Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.
Terzopoulos received the PhD degree ('84) in Computer Science (AI) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the MEng and Honours BEng degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University. After graduation, he remained at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, Cambridge, MA, as a Research Scientist through 1985. Prior to becoming an academic in 1989, he was affiliated with Schlumberger, Inc., serving as Program Leader at corporate research centers in California and Texas. He has been a visiting professor at the Schlumberger Laboratory for Computer Science in Austin, TX, at Digital's (then Compaq's, now Hewlett-Packard's) Cambridge Research Laboratory in Cambridge, MA, at Intel Corporation in Santa Clara, CA, and at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA.
His published work includes more than 250 scientific articles, primarily in computer vision and graphics, and also in computer-aided design, medical imaging, artificial intelligence, and artificial life, including the recent edited volumes Real-Time Computer Vision (Cambridge Univ. Press '94), Animation and Simulation (Springer-Verlag '95), and Deformable Models in Medical Image Analysis (IEEE CS Press '98). He has given hundreds of invited talks around the world about his research, including many distinguished lectures and keynote addresses.
Professor Terzopoulos was elected a Fellow of the The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a Killam Research Fellow of the Canada Council for the Arts, an AI and Robotics Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, and an E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellow of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the highest honor for Canadian scientists and engineers under the age of 40. His other citations include six University of Toronto Excellence Awards, an award from the American Association for Artificial Intelligence in 1987 for his work on deformable models in vision, an award from the IEEE in 1987 for his work on active contours (snakes), two awards from Computers and Graphics in 2002 for his work on dynamic virtual humans and deformable models in medical image analysis, two awards from the International Medical Informatics Association in 1999 and 2003 for his work on model based medical image analysis, an award from the Japanese Computer Graphics Society (NICOGRAPH) in 1996 for his work on human facial modeling and animation, and awards from the International Digital Media Foundation in 1994 and from Ars Electronica, the premier competition for creative work with digital media, in 1995 for his work on artificial animals for computer animation and virtual reality. In 1998 the Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society cited him for his "outstanding contributions to research and education in image understanding". The PhD thesis of his former student Xiaoyuan Tu won the 1996 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award.
Professor Terzopoulos is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and the New York Academy of Sciences. He has served on DARPA, NSF, and NIH advisory committees and on the program committees of the major graphics and vision conferences. He was program co-chair of the 1998 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR '98). He is or was a founding member of the editorial boards of the journals Medical Image Analysis, Graphical Models, Videre: Journal of Computer Vision Research, and the Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, and is a member of the ACM, IEEE, and Sigma Xi.
