Education
Short Bio
Fausto Bernardini, Ph.D.
Senior Manager, Application Services Technologies
IBM Research
I lead worldwide Research efforts to develop innovative technologies and methods to improve the efficiency and value of application development and management and middleware services.
Examples include Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design methodologies, enterprise architecture modeling, project risk and quality management, software lifecycle process automation, business-driven infrastructure monitoring and optimization. We collaborate closely with our colleagues in Global Business Services and Global Technology Services.
Previously, I was on a one-year assignment as technical staff to the VP responsible for IBM Research's global technical strategy and operations, working on an annual process to identify emerging technologies of importance to IBM and the IT industry. Before this assignment, I was a Research Staff Member and Manager of the Visual and Geometric Computing group (part of Visual Technologies). I conducted research in 3D capture, geometric modeling, interactive graphics, and product lifecycle management. I have published over 50 papers and hold several patents. I was one of the principal investigators in projects to digitize works of art, including Michelangelo's Pieta and Tutankhamen's treasure. I have worked closely with ISVs and customers in the automotive industry on problems related to the management of the design process.
I studied Electrical Engineering at the Universita'
"La Sapienza" of Rome and graduated (with a Laurea degree, roughly the equivalent of MSEE) in 1990 with a thesis on multidimensional geometric modeling (my thesis work was done in the Department of Computer and Systems Science). My work was part of ongoing research of the CAD Group, headed by Prof.
Alberto Paoluzzi (now at University
of Rome III). I continued my studies at Purdue
University, where I joined the Shastra Lab], directed by Prof. Chandrajit
Bajaj (now at UT Austin). I obtained my PhD (Dec. 1996) with a thesis on reconstructing the shape and other properties of 3D objects from scans. I joined IBM as a Research Staff Member in 1997.
