PRUSINKIEWICZ, Przemyslaw – Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary
Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz pioneered computational modeling in developmental plant biology. His
innovative programming languages and widely used software for simulating plant development stimulated
acceptance of computational modeling as an illuminating research tool in plant biology. His models,
derived in collaboration with biologists, provide mechanistic explanations of fundamental processes in plant
development and the resulting diversity of plant form.

Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz a été un pionnier de la modélisation informatique en biologie végétale du
développement. Ses logiciels innovants, largement utilisés pour simuler le développement des plantes, ont
encouragé la reconnaissance de la modélisation informatique comme un outil de recherche essentiel en
biologie végétale. Ses modèles, issus de ses collaborations avec des biologistes, fournissent des explications mécanistes
des processus fondamentaux du développement des plantes et de la diversité des formes végétales.
