Abstract
The 2022 CHCCS Achievement Award from the Canadian HumanComputer Communications Society is presented to Hao (Richard) Zhang from Simon Fraser University (SFU) for his numerous highimpact contributions to computer graphics. His diverse research addresses fundamental problems in geometric modeling, shape analysis, geometric deep learning, and computational design and fabrication. CHCCS invites a publication by the award winner to be included in the proceedings, and this year we continue the tradition of an interview format rather than a formal paper. This permits a casual discussion of the research areas, insights, and contributions of the award winner. What follows is an edited transcript of that conversation between Richard and Danny Cohen-Or, from Tel Aviv University, that took place on February 29, 2022, via Zoom. The transcript was then expanded to include more content.
