I am a research manager at Adobe as well as having personal research and development projects. My research interests include photorealistic rendering algorithms, shading languages, multi-core and GPU-accelerated rendering techniques, procedural modeling, efficient image processing algorithms, imaging models for advanced user interfaces, fluid dynamics and simulation-based design tools, natural phenomena simulation and rendering, light-field television and robotics.

In my time at Adobe I have also worked directly on Adobe Atmosphere and Acrobat 3D . I was the founding manager of AIF.

Prior to Adobe I worked at Interval Research Corporation as a member of the technical staff, and as manager of the Graphics Research Group at Apple Computer, Inc. Prior to that I worked at Alias Research, Inc. after completing my undergraduate degree and Ph.D. at Cambridge University.
