Bettina Speckmann (born 1972) [1] is a German computer scientist who heads the Applied Geometric Algorithms group in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Eindhoven University of Technology in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where she is a professor. [2] The main topics of her research are computational geometry and information visualization, especially focusing on the geometry and visualization of objects in motion.
Speckmann earned a diploma from the University of Münster in 1996. [3] She completed her Ph.D. in 2001 at the University of British Columbia under the joint supervision of Jack Snoeyink and David G. Kirkpatrick. [2] [3] [4] Before joining the faculty at TU Eindhoven, she did postdoctoral research with Emo Welzl at ETH Zurich. [2] [3]
She is a member of the Computational Geometry Steering Committee, [5] and has been program chair for the Symposium on Computational Geometry (2018), International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (2015), and International Symposium on Graph Drawing (2011). [2]
In 2011, Speckmann was the first winner of the Netherlands Prize for ICT Research, given by the Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, for her work on geographic information systems. [6] She was a member of the Global Young Academy from 2011 to 2016. [3]
Speckmann is the daughter of German neuroscientist and artist Erwin-Josef Speckmann. [1]
The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences is an organization dedicated to the advancement of science and literature in the Netherlands. The academy is housed in the Trippenhuis in Amsterdam.
In information visualization and computing, treemapping is a method for displaying hierarchical data using nested figures, usually rectangles.
In Euclidean plane geometry, a pseudotriangle (pseudo-triangle) is the simply connected subset of the plane that lies between any three mutually tangent convex sets. A pseudotriangulation (pseudo-triangulations) is a partition of a region of the plane into pseudotriangles, and a pointed pseudotriangulation is a pseudotriangulation in which at each vertex the incident edges span an angle of less than π.
Christianus Cornelius Uhlenbeck was a Dutch linguist and anthropologist with a wide variety of research interests. His published work included books and articles on Germanic and Balto-Slavic languages, Sanskrit, Basque, and the Blackfoot language of North American Indians. He served as a lecturer at Leiden University.
Willibrordus Martinus Pancratius van der Aalst is a Dutch computer scientist and full professor at RWTH Aachen University, leading the Process and Data Science (PADS) group. His research and teaching interests include information systems, workflow management, Petri nets, process mining, specification languages, and simulation. He is also known for his work on workflow patterns.
Chandrajit Bajaj is an American computer scientist. He is a professor of computer science at the University of Texas at Austin holding the Computational Applied Mathematics Chair in Visualization and is the director of the Computational Visualization Center, in the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES).

The Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, located on the east side of the Spaarne in downtown Haarlem, Netherlands, was established in 1752 and is the oldest society for the sciences in the country. The society has been housed in its present location, called Hodshon Huis, since 1841. Nearby the society is the Teylers Museum, a closely related museum of natural history founded in 1784. In 2002, the society was awarded the predicate "Royal" when it celebrated 250 years of science studies.
Meurs Challenger is an online graph visualization program, with data analysis and browsing.
In graph drawing and geometric graph theory, the slope number of a graph is the minimum possible number of distinct slopes of edges in a drawing of the graph in which vertices are represented as points in the Euclidean plane and edges are represented as line segments that do not pass through any non-incident vertex.
Kornelis "Kees" Bakker was Professor at Leiden University Faculty of Ecology
Johannes Ferdinand "Hans" Besseling was professor emeritus of Engineering Mechanics at the Delft University of Technology, worked in the field of the application of solid mechanics to the analysis of structures; constitutive equations for the mathematical description of material behaviour. His specialities are finite element methods, continuum thermodynamics, creep and plasticity of metals.
Annamaria Beatrice "Nina" Amenta is an American computer scientist who works as the Tim Bucher Family Professor of Computer Science and the chair of the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Davis. She specializes in computational geometry and computer graphics, and is particularly known for her research in reconstructing surfaces from scattered data points.
Simultaneous embedding is a technique in graph drawing and information visualization for visualizing two or more different graphs on the same or overlapping sets of labeled vertices, while avoiding crossings within both graphs. Crossings between an edge of one graph and an edge of the other graph are allowed.
Sonia Kéfi is a network scientist and systems ecologist who studies ecosystem dynamics and the resilience of ecosystems to climate change and human land use. She works for the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in the Institut des Sciences de l’Evolution de Montpellier, associated with the University of Montpellier, and is also affiliated as an external professor with the Santa Fe Institute.
