Artificial Fishes -涂曉媛

涂曉媛

第一個得ACM最佳博士論文獎的中國人，亦是全世界第一個得到此獎的女生，非常了不起。

祖籍：江西南昌


出生地：北京


家庭：父親是中國人工智能學會理事長、北京科技大學涂序彥教授


學歷：
She received her Ph.D degree (96') in Computer Science from the University of
Toronto and the Honors M.Eng degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering
from McMaster University. Her Honors B.Eng degree was in Control Theory and
Automation from TsingHua University in China.



獲獎：
In 1996 she received the prestigious ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for her
Ph.D dissertation "Artifical Animals for Computer Animation: Biomechanics,
Locomotion, Perception, and Behavior".
In 1994 she received the Technical Excellence Award from the Canadian
Academy of Multimedia and Arts and from 1993 to 1995 her animation work was
honored in numerous premier competetions for creative science with digital
media, including the Siggraph Electronic Theatre, the Ars Electronica and the
Computer Animation Film Festival.



經歷：
Xiaoyuan Tu is a co-founder and lead scientist at AiLive Inc. (formerly iKuni
Inc.), a Palo Alto, California based start-up company focussing on AI effects
for computer entertainment.

Prior to co-founding AiLive, Dr. Tu was a research scientist in the Media and
Graphics Research Lab at Intel Corp. from 1997 to 2000.
During 1996 and 1997, she was a senior member of the technical staff at SGI.





研究領域：
Dr. Tu's main research interests are in the modelling, control and simulation
of life-like, intelligent virtual characters. Her research spans the areas of
autonomous agent architecture design, physics and biomechanics-based
modelling, machine learning, computer graphics animation and artificial life.





小八卦：

丈夫是John Funge，
他的googlepage 、LinkedIn
大學是英國King's Colleg London，碩士是英國牛津大學，Phd.是加拿大多倫多大學。
博士論文"Making Them Behave: Cognitive Models for Computer Animation".

1997年拿到phd (比涂曉媛晚一年)，後來跟涂曉媛都在Intel的實驗室做研究(但好像不同實驗室)。
2000年和涂曉媛合開AiLive這家公司(至今有八年了耶~~)，並同時在University of California Santa Cruz教書，目前是助理教授。

他的著作有：
Artificial Intelligence For Computer Games: An Introduction (2004)
AI for Computer Games and Animation: A Cognitive Modeling Approach (1999)

他們夫婦倆合發的paper：
John Funge and Xiaoyuan Tu, "Making Them Behave", Technical Sketch, ACM SIGGRAPH'97, August, 1997.

John Funge, Xiaoyuan Tu and Demetri Terzopoulos, "Cognitive Modeling: Knowledge, Reasoning and Planning for Intelligent Characters" Proc. of ACM SIGGRAPH'99, Los Angeles, CA, August, 1999, in ACM Computer Graphics Proceedings, 1999. (這時候夫婦倆已在Intel工作)



他們夫婦倆的小可愛和家庭相簿(父母都是世界頂尖人物，這小可愛的未來值得觀注..XD)
