This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The research objective of this Early Faculty Career (CAREER) award is to develop methods for sketch-based construction and interaction with geometric content in creative design environments. The research will develop methods that can translate designers' conceptual sketches into 2D and 3D geometric data that can be readily modified, simulated and optimized through a pen-and-paper like interface. The research will result in methods that enhance design innovation by providing human-centric computational technology for form creation and exploration in the early design stages of engineered products. Methods will be designed and implemented for creating 3D geometry from 2D sketches, for automatically generating aesthetic product forms from pen strokes, and for capturing design knowledge by monitoring users' interaction with the developed computational tools.If successful, the results of this research will enhance current design practices in industry by enabling designers to rapidly generate and assess complex product forms via digital sketching. This will lead to greater efficiency in design exploration and iteration, which are central to technological innovation. By facilitating form creation, the new methodologies will enable a more fluid integration of stylistic and functional design requirements currently not supported by conventional tools. The resulting technology will have an immediate impacts in a number of fields including product design, automotive design, pre-surgical planning, and engineering education. The education and outreach activities of the award will provide interdisciplinary learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate engineering students in computational design, and will help promote interest for science and engineering from underrepresented groups and high school students.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供资金的。这一早期教师职业(职业)奖的研究目标是开发基于草图的构建方法，并在创意设计环境中与几何内容进行交互。这项研究将开发出一种方法，可以将设计师的概念草图转换为2D和3D几何数据，这些数据可以通过类似纸笔的界面轻松修改、模拟和优化。这项研究将通过为工程产品的早期设计阶段的形式创建和探索提供以人为中心的计算技术来加强设计创新的方法。将设计和实现从2D草图创建3D几何图形的方法，从笔画自动生成美学产品形式的方法，以及通过监控用户与开发的计算工具的交互来获取设计知识的方法。如果成功，这项研究的结果将通过使设计师能够通过数字草图快速生成和评估复杂的产品形式来改进当前的工业设计实践。这将导致设计探索和迭代的更高效率，这是技术创新的核心。通过促进表格创建，新的方法将使风格和功能设计要求能够更流畅地结合在一起，目前传统工具不支持这些要求。由此产生的技术将在许多领域产生立竿见影的影响，包括产品设计、汽车设计、手术前规划和工程教育。该奖项的教育和推广活动将为计算设计的本科生和研究生提供跨学科的学习机会，并将有助于促进代表不足的群体和高中生对科学和工程的兴趣。
