If so, describe. Manocha has been actively involved with organization and participation in CCC workshops that were related to robotics, spatial computing and human-computer interaction. List any other relevant experience and year(s) it occurred (list--no more than *five* items). • SIGGRAPH Executive Committee, Director-At-Large, 2011 – 2014 • General Chair/Co-Chair of 8 conferences and workshops; (1995- onwards) • Member of Editorial board and Guest editor of 20 journals in computer graphics, robotics, geometric computing, and parallel computing. (1995 onwards) • 34 Keynote and Distinguished Lectures between 2011-2015 • Program Chair/Co-Chair of 5 conferences and workshops; 100+ program committees in computer graphics, virtual reality, robotics, gaming, acoustics, and geometric computing Research interests: (list only) • Computer graphics • Virtual reality • Robotics • Geometric computing • Parallel computing Personal Statement Given the dynamic nature of our field, CRA is playing an ever-increasing role in terms of research and education. Over the last 25 years, my research has spanned a variety of different fields, including geometric/symbolic computing, computer graphics, robotics, virtual-reality and parallel computing. I have worked closely with researchers/developers in engineering, medical, and social sciences and also interacted with leading industrial organizations, federal laboratories, and startups. MY INTERESTS: (1) Communicate economic impacts of computing; advocate longer- term scientific investment through coordinated government-industry-academia efforts; (2) Encourage innovative computing education that adapts to new landscape; (3) Promote new inter-disciplinary research programs and diversity.

He co-leads a major research group with more than 20 members on geometric and simulation algorithms with applications to computer graphics, robotics and virtual environments. He is also involved in a number of inter-disciplinary activities and committees at the Department, College and the University Level. He has published more than 400 papers in the leading conferences and journals in computer graphics, robotics, computational geometry, databases, multimedia, high performance computing and symbolic computation, and received 13 best paper awards. He has also served as program committee member or program chair of more than 100 leading conferences in these areas. Moreover, he has served as a member of the editorial board or guest editor of eleven leading journals. He has won many awards including NSF Career Award, ONR Young Investigator Award, Sloan Fellowship, IBM Fellowship, SIGMOD IndySort Winner, Honda Research Award and UNC Hettleman Prize. He is a Fellow of ACM, IEEE, and AAAS and received Distinguished Alumni Award from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Manocha has supervised 65+ M.S. and Ph.D. students over the last 23 years at UNC Chapel Hill. His research group has developed many well-known software packages for collision detection, triangulation, GPU-based algorithms, solid modeling and solving algebraic systems. These packages have been downloaded by more than 150,000 users worldwide and licensed to more than 50 industrial organizations including Intel, Microsoft, Disney, Ford, Kawasaki, Siemens, Phillips Labs, MSC Software, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon etc. His group has actively collaborated with many industrial organizations including Disney, Boeing, Intel, NVIDIA, Microsoft, SAIC, ARA, Willow Garage, AMD/ATI, Dolby Research, Samsung, and Lockheed. Manocha’s research has been supported by ARO, Boeing, NSF, DARPA, RDECOM, ONR, NIH, and many industrial partners, and he has served as a Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator on more than 70 grants.
