Biography

Qingde Li received the BSc in mathematics from Beijing Normal University in 1982 and PhD in computer science from the University of Hull in 2002. Dr. Qingde Li has been a Lecturer in Computer science at the University of Hull since 2001. Previously he was a professor and the deputy head of Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Anhui Normal University, China. He was a visiting scholar in the Department of applied Statistics at the University of Leeds from Oct 1990 to May 1992, and in the Department of Computing at the University of Bradford from Sept 1996 to Aug 1997. Before he joined the department, his research interests were mainly with fuzzy sets and random sets. His most current research interests are in the area of 3D graphics, such as shape modeling, medical image processing and visualization, GPU-based scientific simulation and special graphics effects. His most recent notable research contributions have been the development of two mutually related spline techniques, namely, PSP-spline (PSPS) and 2D solid spline (2DSS), where PSPS is simpler than B-spline in its mathematical representation but much more powerful than NURBS in geometric design, and 2DSS is a kind of area spline technique, which is a powerful tool for freeform solid modelling.
