Public lecture by Thomas Banchoff: "The fourth dimension and Salvador Dali"
Published Date: 2006-03-06 Presented by the Department of Math & Computer Science and the Emory College Program in Science and Society. Abstract: Salvador Dali was fascinated by science and mathematics. He incorporated mathematical forms and ideas into many of his paintings, for example, "The Fourth Dimension in Corpus Hypercubus" to ordinary geometry. This presentation will describe interaction with Dali over a ten-year period, as described in a recent documentary commemorating the centenary of the artist's birth. Brief bio: Thomas Banchoff is a geometer who has been a professor at Brown University for the past 40 years. He was an undergraduate at the University of Notre Dame and he received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1964. He has taught at Harvard, UCLA, and Yale, and he is currently teaching at the University of Georgia in the mathematics department and in the College of Education. In 1991, he wrote "Beyond the Third Dimension" describing his collaborations with mathematicians, computer scientists, and artists.

New Goodrich C. White chairs honor the legacy of a former Emory president
Published Date: 1997-01-13 V. S. Sunderam, whose research is in distributed computing systems and includes computer networking and concurrent processing, is currently leading the Collaborative Computing Frameworks (CCF) project that involves several Emory faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students. The goal of CCF is to create virtual work environments or "collaboratories" (a location-independent laboratory in which researchers can collaborate) using computer workstations, campus networks and the Internet. "People at different universities, offices or even at home, can collaborate on a project in real time, as if they were simultaneously in the same laboratory," Sunderam said. "Our research involves inventing the enabling technologies and tools for such systems, and we are fortunate to have an excellent multidisciplinary team working on this project. The Dobbs professorship will help this project and others tangibly by providing supplemental research support." click here for the full article
