Alla Sheffer FRSC is a Canadian researcher in computer graphics, geometric modeling, geometry processing, and mesh generation, particularly known for her research on mesh parameterization and angle-based flattening.[1] She is currently a professor of computer science at the University of British Columbia.[citation needed]
Sheffer was educated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science in 1991, a master's degree in computer science in 1995, and a Ph.D. in computer science in 1999.[2] Her dissertation, Geometric Modeling and Applied Computational Geometry, was supervised by Michel Bercovier.[3]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, she became an assistant professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 2001. She moved to the University of British Columbia in 2003, and became a full professor there in 2013.[2]
