SINTEF Applied Mathematics (SAM) is a research institute of the SINTEF Group,
which is a non-profit-making organization. The activities of SAM are based on a
long and fruitful collaboration with, among others, the
Department of Computer Science at the University of Oslo (UiO) and the
Faculty of Physics, Computer Science and Mathematics
at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
SAM currently consists of about 50 researchers. Several full time professors
are active in the group and almost 50% of the researchers have a Ph.D.
Performing contract research for industry, the public sector, and system
vendors, SINTEF Applied Mathematics is involved in a broad range of activities
ranging from basic research to product development and commercialisation.
The Department of Geometric Modelling within SAM concentrates its activities on
three main topics: the design, representation and computation of the properties
of geometric objects. Areas of application are found first and foremost in
mechanical engineering where the department's tools are extensively used in
various CAD applications. The department also works in the fields of medical
imaging, geological modelling, animation and ocean wave modelling.
Many industrial projects in the department are supported by its two main
software libraries:
both of which are commercially available.
