Biography
Education: Daniel Aliaga holds BS in Computer Science, honors thesis (with Andy van Dam) and magna cum laude, from Brown University. Subsequently, obtained a MS (with Henry Fuchs) and a PhD degree (with Anselmo Lastra, Fred Brooks, and Dinesh Manocha) in Computer Science from UNC Chapel Hill. Worked at Nokia/Lucent/AT&T Bell Labs (with Ingrid Carlbom) and at Princeton University as a researcher (with Tom Funkhouser). He joined Purdue in 2003, co-founding the Computer Graphics and Visualization Laboratory (CGVLAB). Dr. Aliaga has held visiting professor positions at ETH Zurich Information Architecture and also ETH Computer Science, INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, and KAUST in Saudi Arabia. After finishing high school (Colegio Santa Maria), Daniel immigrated from Lima, Peru and is the first in his family and relatives to hold a PhD.
Products: Dr. Aliaga's first computer graphics publication was in 1991 and he now has over 160 refereed publications covering multiple disciplines, holds membership in 80+ program committees, has on-going international multi-disciplinary collaborations (i.e., with computer science, urban planning, architecture, meteorology, atmospheric/earth sciences, engineering, archaeology, and more), and has given over 50 invited talks (in the US, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Japan, Korea, Peru, Qatar, Sweden, and Switzerland). Further, Dr. Aliaga has been technical advisor on multiple startups (Synthicity, UrbanSim, Authentise).
Funding: Prof. Aliaga has obtained 28 external peer-reviewed grants totaling $40M (and is PI on 19 of them). Funding sources include NSF, IARPA, USDA, Internet2, MTC, Google, Microsoft, and Adobe.
Service and Awards: Daniel is Associate Editor for IEEE TVCG and for Visual Computing Journal (previously for Computer Graphics Forum and Graphical Models) and PC member for SIGGRAPH, CVPR, ICCV, Eurographics, AAAI, I3D, IEEE Vis. He has received a Fulbright Scholar Award, a Discovery Park Faculty Research Fellowship, and his PhD advisees have received a total of 11 Purdue fellowships/grants. He is a member of ACM SIGGRAPH and ACM SIGGRAPH Pioneers, and has multiple times been Chair of Faculty Diversity for College of Science at Purdue.
