Fellow
I lead the Adobe Creative Technologies Lab, which I founded when I joined Adobe Systems in 2005. I am also an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, where I have been on the faculty since 1992. I received my Sc.B. from Brown University in 1983, and my Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1991. From 1983-87, I worked at Lucasfilm and Pixar, where I contributed computer animation for the Academy Award-winning short film, "Tin Toy," and the feature-length film, Young Sherlock Holmes. I spent the 1991-92 year as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Program of Computer Graphics at Cornell University. In 1996, I co-founded two companies, where I served as Chief Scientist: Inklination and Numinous Technologies. When the latter was acquired by Microsoft in 1999, I worked as a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research until 2005, while remaining on the UW faculty. Over the years, I have also worked as an intern or consultant at a number of production studios and research labs, including Sogitec Audiovisuel in (Paris), DEC Systems Research Center, DEC Paris Research Lab, Aldus (now part of Adobe), Xerox PARC, and Broderbund.
I received an NSF Young Investigator award in 1993; an ONR Young Investigator Award, Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, and an NSF Presidential Faculty Fellow Award in 1995; the University of Washington Award for Outstanding Faculty Achievement in the College of Engineering in 1996; the University of Washington Distinguished Teaching Award in 1997; The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and theCouncil for the Advancement and Support of Education 1998-1999 Washington Professor of the Year Award in 1998; and the ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Achievement Award in 2000. I was named a Guest Professor of Zhejiang University and an ACM Fellow in 2002.
My research interests are in computer graphics and include digital photography and video, automatic design & presentation of information, non-photorealistic rendering, visualization, image-based rendering, digital typography, and color. My outside interests include Argentine tango, photography, Aikido (in which I hold a black belt), printmaking, piano, saxophone, flying, traveling, cooking, old films, backpacking, skiing, mountain biking, and chocolate.
