Hayley Iben,
Simulation Research Engineer Contact: iben@pixar.com
Hayley Iben is a Simulation Research Engineer at Pixar Animation
Studios. She earned a B.S. in Computer Science from Duquesne
University and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in
2007. For her Ph.D. thesis, she modelled crack patterns that appear
in mud, ceramic glaze, and glass through combining physically based
simulation with heuristics. For her Master's project, she used
numerical optimization to solve computational geometry
problems. Hayley joined Pixar in 2006 where she built software tools
for character articulation and animation with a particular focus on
inverse kinematics. After joining the Research Group, she splits her
time between developing simulation algorithms and transferring that
technology into production.
Research Interests
