About
Emily Whiting’s research lies at the intersection of computer graphics, computational geometry, and physical simulation, with a focus on human motion analysis and mechanical assembly. Her most cited work, “GroundLink: A Dataset Unifying Human Body Movement and Ground Reaction Dynamics” (2023, 12 citations), introduces a groundbreaking dataset that bridges human motion capture with ground reaction forces, enabling more physically plausible animations for applications in graphics, robotics, and biomechanics. This work addresses a critical gap in simulating realistic human movement without full physics simulation. Whiting also explores geometric assembly problems, as seen in her papers “Assembling and Disassembling Planar Structures With Divisible and Atomic Components” (2018, 5 citations) and its 2020 follow-up (4 citations). These studies investigate how to separate interlocking 2-D parts by cutting one into minimal pieces, offering foundational insights for manufacturing and robotics. Her contributions demonstrate a unique ability to combine theoretical geometry with practical, data-driven approaches, advancing both the understanding of human motion plausibility and efficient mechanical assembly.
