Mark Ganter’s biography
Mark A. Ganter, PhD graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1985. He is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington with an alliate appointment in Digital and Experimental Arts(DXArts). Professor Ganter’s research interests lie in the broad areas of applied computational geometry, solid modeling, computer graphics, and rapid prototyping. His main research activities focus on application of computational techniques to art, architecture, and engineering design/manufacturing problems.

His current work focuses on 3D volume (voxel) space representations, object segmentation (including biological), wavelets representations of volume data as well as the development of new materials and processes for 3D printing and 3D printing systems (including ceramic, and glass printing materials).
