Hans-Peter Seidel is one of 11 winners of the 2003
Leibniz prizes. This is a sort of German Research
Pulitzer Prize. The official press notice can be
found at
http://www.dfg.de/aktuelles_presse/pressemitteilungen/2002/presse_2002_58.html
Hans-Peter was at Waterloo as a PostDoc in CGL for a year, following with a timeas Asst. Professor in the department until leaping to a Full Professorship
at the University of Erlangen. He moved from there to Saarbrücken to head
the Graphics Group of the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik. The Max-Planck
institutes are German Centres of Excellence in various research disciplines,
not only in computer science, that are dotted about the country. It is there where
he receives the prize: 1.5 million Euros in strings-free research funding over
the next 5 years.
CGL has had a sometimes-continuing student exchange with Hans-Peter's group.
A notable alumnus of this exchange has been Wolfgang Heidrich, UW Math Sci MS
and Saarbrücken PhD, now an Asst. Professor in graphics and Kelly Booth mafioso
at UBC.
