Anton Leykin, Professor in the School of Mathematics

A team led by Georgia Tech mathematician Anton Leykin has developed a powerful new technique for solving problems related to 3D reconstruction. The research team’s paper has also won the prestigious best paper award at CVPR 2022. The team hopes that their method — which can solve some of these problems significantly faster than any previous technique — could change how these problems are approached and solved in mathematics, computer science, and industrial applications.

Ever stare at those last few pieces of breakfast cereal and watch them seemingly clump together or cling to the side of the bowl? Scientists have dubbed it the “Cheerios effect,” the combination of forces causing those clumps. Researchers at Georgia Tech have discovered those same forces draw small numbers of ants together to begin to form water-repellent ant rafts — even though the ants seem to be uninterested in collaborating with their neighbors for survival.
